The Duke Of Edinburgh Unveils Guinea Pig Club Monument At The National Memorial Arboretum

STAFFORDSHIRE, UNITED KINGDOM - NOVEMBER 02: Surviving members of the RAF's "Guinea pig club" stand next to their newly unveiled memorial to those airmen saved after being burned in their aircraft that was unveiled by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, President, the Guinea Pig Club at the National Memorial Arboretum on November 2, 2016 in Staffordshire United Kingdom. The Guinea Pig Club was formed in 1941 by badly injured and burned Allied Servicemen, many of whom had fought in the Battle of Britain, who were being treated at the Queen Victoria Hospital, East Grinstead, by the pioneering plastic surgeon Sir Archibald McIndoe and his highly skilled team. The 'Guinea Pig' name derives from the experimental treatment and the pioneering nature of the surgery that these men underwent. By the end of the Second World War, there were 649 members of the GPC, but now only 17 are still living in the UK (photo by Richard Pohle - WPA Pool/Getty Images) .
