In 1942, Dr. Tilley transferred to the Queen Victoria Hospital in East Grinstead (Sussex) where a Canadian Canadian wing was being built.The wing accommodated the increasing increasing number of Canadian casualties and Dr. Tilley was a major participant participant in its construction. It was here that Dr. Tilley worked and learned under the guidance of Sir Archibald Mclndoe - Britain's legendary plastic surgeon. In recognition of his leadership in pioneering pioneering new techniques for treating burns, Dr. Tilley was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (1944). After the war, Dr. Tilley returned home as a highly skilled burn surgeon. His innovative skin graft techniques are still used in the successful treatment of severe burns. He practiced his craft at The Wellesley and Sunnybrook Hospitals and became revered as a both a humanitarian and a great teacher. In 1982, he was honoured with the Order of Canada for his leadership and contributions contributions to the field of plastic surgery. Dr. Tilley's dedication and. commitment to treating burn victims led him and some colleagues to (successfully) campaign to have the very first burn centre built - it officially opened in April of 1984. On February 13, 2006, it was my privilege to present a special print, by artist Tony Johnson. The print commemorates the work of Dr. Tilley; the heroics of the members of The Guinea Pig Club of Canada and the creation of the Ross Tilley Burn Centre. Attending the presentation was Dr. Leith Douglas former Medical Liaison Officer Officer to the Executive of the Guinea Pig Club and a friend of both the members of the Club and Dr. Ross Tilley. Dr. Douglas was presented a copy of the print as did the Bowmanville Branch of the Canadian Legion'. A copy of this print will be hung in. Ross Tilley Public School and in the Ross Tilley Burn Centre attached to Sunnybrook Sunnybrook Hospital. One will also be on public display at the Municipal Municipal Administrative Centre (40 Temperance Street, Bowmanville).
