2 November 2016 | Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, President, the Guinea Pig Club sits with surviving members before he unveils the new memorial to those airmen saved after being burned in their aircraft at the National Memorial Arboretum 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.
