Known as the "father of modern plastic surgery," Dr. Harold Gillies worked tirelessly to help soldiers who suffered facial injuries during World War I. After convincing the British War Office to open a hospital devoted to facial reconstruction, Gillies performed more than 11,000 operations for over 5,000 men from 1917 to 1925. Despite having no textbooks or mentors to guide him, the surgeon pioneered several new skin grafting techniques to help rebuild veterans' faces. And at a time when society shunned maimed veterans, Gillies gave them a better chance at a happy civilian life. As his biographer put it: "What Harold Gillies is able to do for these men is not just mend their broken faces, but also mend their broken spirits."

Can you help us identifying the source of this plastic sticker?

We NEED YOUR HELP to identify the source of this 'MADE IN USA' plastic sticker. It should be from a consumer product of some sort. We collected the first label during the Elysium Heart of the Coral Triangle expedition microplastic assessment trawl in Raja Ampat, in Sep of 2018. Fast forward, to 2023, we collected a similar label during our microplastic trawl in the Antarctic Peninsula during our ACE Climate expedition. It is apparent the waste of modern societies is polluting the water of far-flung wilderness thousands of miles away. Essentially we collected similar labels during random surveys over a period of 5 years in locations that are thousands of kilometres apart. There must 10 of thousands of these labels in our ocean, most likely ingested by whales, whale sharks, sea birds, and mantas...please help us locate the source of these labels and bring a stop to those 'Made in USA' garbage! , ,
