War brings strange fates to many men but none more than Lindsay Rogers, a New Zealand surgeon when has been serving in the Eighth Army in the desert. He volunteered for special service in SOE and then found himself set down one dark night on the Isle of Vis, off the Dalmatian Coast. His job was to work as a surgeon among Yugoslav partisans; to fight with them, to tend the wounded and to act as an unofficial liaison officer between them and the Allied troops. For many months to come, in caves and deep in the forests, up mountains, he brought his skill as a surgeon, his staunchness and bravery as a serving soldier to his strange job. In Guerilla Surgeon he tells his story.
