Details William Waugh was Professor of Orthopaedic and Accident Surgery at Nottingham University Medical School. He was born on 17 February 1922 in Dover, where his father, also William, was a general practitioner. He was educated at Eastbourne College and Pembroke College, Cambridge, going on to win an entrance scholarship to King's College Hospital Medical School. There he won the Legg prize in surgery. In those student days he already showed many of his outstanding characteristics. He always set himself the highest standards, and used his inquiring and critical mind to find out the best solution to any problem. This serious underlying streak in his nature by no means prevented him from being a popular social figure and stimulating companion. He was good with his hands in a practical sense and showed himself to be an accomplished artist. After the usual round of junior appointments in the King's sector and passing the FRCS, he entered the RAF as a surgical specialist serving at Wroughton and then Aden. He returned to King's in 1950 as an orthopaedic registrar and later a senior registrar, in which post he passed the Cambridge MChir, and spent six months as a clinical assistant at the Toronto General Hospital. In January 1955, he was appointed first assistant in the Nuffield department of orthopaedic surgery at Oxford, where he continued until September 1957, when he was appointed consultant surgeon at Harlow Wood Orthopaedic Hospital and Nottingham General Hospital. In 1977, he was appointed Professor of Orthopaedic and Accident Surgery at Nottingham University Medical School, a post he held until his retirement in 1984. William Waugh was first of all a warm and considerate human being and secondly an accomplished, caring and highly regarded surgeon. His orderly mind made him an outstanding teacher. His academic bent made him an excellent member of the editorial board of the *Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery* from 1970 to 1974. His chief clinical interest was in the treatment of arthritis of the knee joint, about which he lectured and gave papers in Europe and North America. In retirement he wrote *John Charnley: the man and the hip* (London, New York, Springer-Verlag, c.1990), *A history of the British Orthopaedic Association, the first 75 years* (London, British Orthopaedic Association, 1993) and also edited the fourth edition of *The whiskies of Scotland* (New York, New Amsterdam, 1987). His career was blessed by a very happy family life. In 1947, he had married a fellow student at King's, Janet McDowall, the daughter of the Professor of Physiology at King's College. They had two daughters and five grandchildren. William listed his hobbies and interests as being those of photography, gardening and architectural history, but anyone who knew him would have added life itself and the people around him. He died on 21 May 1998.

Details Joshua Samuel Horn was born in London of Jewish parents on 14 July 1914. He won a scholarship to University College Hospital, where he had a brilliant career and collected various undergraduate medals and prizes. 'Josh', as he was known, had charm, dedication, and courage. During the hungry 'thirties, and influenced by the struggle against unemployment and fascism, he joined the Socialist Medical Association and the Communist Party, remaining a Marxist all his life. After qualification in 1936 he became lecturer in anatomy at Cambridge, then returned to University College Hospital. He came under the influence of Wilfred Trotter, whom he greatly admired, and took the FRCS when he was only 23 years old. During the blitz he worked as a surgeon in the dockside area of London; then spent four years in the RAMC, moving with the troops of the second front from Normandy to the Rhine and later to West Africa, where he attained the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. In 1948 he was appointed surgeon to the Birmingham Accident Hospital. There his special interests were hand surgery and the repair of nerves. He wrote a number of papers and was a founder member of the Institute of Accident Surgery. At the age of 40 he was struck with multiple sclerosis, which characteristically he bore with great fortitude, but fortunately was able to continue for 15 years a surgical career in Peking. He helped to pioneer the reattachment of severed limbs, and, as an adviser to the Ministry of Health, he founded an accident hospital in Peking and planned modern burns units. He was elected to the executive of the International Society for Burns Injuries. His activities took him far and wide through People's China, learning at first hand the medical and social changes which had followed liberation during the cultural revolution. He wrote about his experiences in a fascinating book, *Away with all pests: an English surgeon on People's China*. Returning to England in 1969, he was appointed lecturer in anatomy, his old love, at the London Hospital. Although his health was deteriorating, he lectured widely on medicine in China, helping many to understand the marriage between traditional and modern medicine and the peasant-doctor movement. He was a fine speaker. He intended to write more on the changing Chinese medical and social scene, and, in 1974, revisited Peking for this purpose. He collapsed in his hotel room from a heart attack, and as he was too ill to move, his room was converted into an intensive care unit for days before his transfer to hospital - an indication of the esteem in which he was held. He was married and had one daughter and one son. He died in Peking on 17 December, 1975, aged 61 years.
