Frontline Surgeon
New Zealand Medical Pioneer Douglas Jolly
By Mark Derby
Launched by Central Otago Mayor Tim Cadogan and Doug Jolly’s step-grand-daughter, Bidda Jones. Books will be available for sale and signing.
Cromwell-born Doug Jolly was one of the greatest war surgeons of the twentieth century. Tireless, dedicated, and courageous, he was one of the most gifted Republican Army surgeons in the Spanish Civil War. His surgical manual, based on his battlefield experiences close to the frontline, was widely used in later wars.
'Frontline Surgeon' traces Jolly’s remarkable career from medical training in 1920s New Zealand to becoming the medical director of Britain’s largest hospital for amputees. This book restores him to the ranks of pioneers of modern medicine.
