- more plastic surgeons and more orthopaedic s.urgeons.

To conclude on a philatelic note I show four
Argentinian stamps from my collection as a brief
postscript to the symposium on "The Falkland Islands
Campaign" held at the Royal College of Surgeons in
London in February 1983. These stamps were issued in
January 1936, February 1937, May 1945 and December
1966, the last commemorating the Argentine South Pole
Expedition. The four maps reveal those unacceptable
territorial aspirations which have now cost lives.
Thank you gentlemen very much for letting me
ramble on about events long past, albeit with an up-todate message, and for letting me beat my plastic drum for so long!

Acknowledgments

I am grateful to Col R Scott, LlRAMC, who suggested

that I should submit this lecture script unaltered for
publication; to my secretary Diana Goodwin and to the
Department of Medical Illustration at St Bartholomew's
Hospital for their patient help.
