Abstract

Alexander William Lipmann Kessel (1914–1986) was as surgeon connected to the 16th Parachute Field Ambulance Royal Army Medical Corps and as such he was dropped in The Netherlands in September 1944 to care for the wounded during the battle for the Rhine bridge at Arnhem. His military and post military career were inspirational and led to preservation of lives during the war and progress in orthopaedic surgery after the war. In this paper, we discuss his biography and the contributions he made to orthopaedic surgery.
