  • Issue 98 – January 2020 Chairman’S Column
    THE TIGER THE NEWSLETTER OF THE LEICESTERSHIRE & RUTLAND BRANCH OF THE WESTERN FRONT ASSOCIATION ISSUE 98 – JANUARY 2020 CHAIRMAN’S COLUMN Welcome again, Ladies and Gentlemen, to the latest edition of The Tiger. Amongst the many tributes recently paid to the men of the Great War was one that reminds us of the plight of those who survived the conflict, but with injuries so severe that their lives, indeed their very appearance, was changed forever. At a private event at Queen Mary’s Hospital in Sidcup, Kent, a bust of a Great War soldier, his face partially obscured by his hand, was unveiled to commemorate the plight of thousands of soldiers who suffered terrible facial disfigurements and who often found themselves shunned by society rather than welcomed back into it as the heroes they undoubtedly were. Historian Ellie Grigsby, who designed the memorial, found evidence that many disfigured men faced social rejection and isolation. One man, according to Ellie “was rejected by his wife, who could no longer bear to look at him and was not allowed to serve customers when returning to his previous job in a tailor’s shop”. One solution was the use of painted tin masks, adorned with artificial eyebrows and/or moustaches, reflecting the pre-war appearance of the soldier concerned in family photographs. Others, suffering injuries to their jaws and mouthes, would have difficulty in earing for the remainder of their lives. The “Broken Faces” Statue Another option was provided by the pioneering work in reconstructive surgery, led by New Zealand-born Harold Delf Gillies, a qualified surgeon who enlisted in the Royal Army Medical Corps in 1915.
