Dr Bill Frankland (FN 26-30).

In October the long-awaited biography of our oldest OSB, Dr Bill Frankland (FN 26-30), now 106 years young, was published by Brown Dog Books (ISBN 1785452657) with the title: From Hell Island to Hay Fever, The Life of Dr Bill Frankland. It is written by Paul Watkins.

Those who know Bill or have read about him will be aware of the remarkable life he has lived since qualifying as a doctor in 1938, which runs from being a prisoner of war of the Japanese to becoming a world-famous immunologist. He has always valued his links with the school and the volume can be heartily recommended.
