At the outbreak of the Second World War there were four full-time plastic surgeons in the United Kingdom: Gillies, Kilner, McIndoe and Mowlem, known universally as the 'big four.' Three were from New Zealand, two had been born in Dunedin (Harold Gillies and Archibald McIndoe) and two (McIndoe and Rainsford Mowlem) had studied medicine in Dunedin at the University of Otago. The story of Gillies and McIndoe is well known to many. Perhaps less well known are the contributions of Mowlem and Henry Pickerill, another surgeon with Dunedin connections, and how the futures of these men were shaped by a small 19th century Scottish settlement at the bottom of the South Island of New Zealand.
第二次世界大战爆发时，英国有四位全职整形外科医生：吉利斯、基尔纳、麦金杜和莫勒姆，他们被公认为“四大巨头”。其中三位来自新西兰，两位出生于但尼丁（哈罗德·吉利斯和阿奇博尔德·麦金杜），还有两位（麦金杜和雷恩斯福德·莫勒姆）在但尼丁的奥塔哥大学学习过医学。吉利斯和麦金杜的故事为许多人所熟知。或许鲜为人知的是莫勒姆和亨利·皮克里尔的贡献，后者也是一位与但尼丁有渊源的外科医生，以及这些人的未来是如何由19世纪位于新西兰南岛南端的一个苏格兰小定居点塑造的。
