The Legacy of Weary Dunlop

Sir Edward "Weary" Dunlop was more than just a surgeon; he was a beacon of hope in the darkest of times. As a prisoner of war during World War II, Dunlop selflessly cared for his fellow captives, showing unwavering compassion and resilience. His name became synonymous with courage and sacrifice, particularly during the construction of the Thai-Burma Railway, where he provided medical aid under unimaginable conditions.
