#1 In 1913, London was a far more commanding presence in the world than it would be on the cusp of the Second World War. With over seven million people living in London, it was larger than the municipalities of Paris, Vienna, and St. Petersburg combined.

#2 Gillies was a high achiever who had always been able to achieve whatever he set his mind to. He was a man who had been born with a mysterious gift for talent, which he had inherited rather than worked for.

#3 Gillies had a rebellious spirit, but he was also very likable. He had a love of rules and boundaries, and he was eminently likable. He was also very popular, and earned the nickname Giles because of it.

#4 Gillies was extremely skilled at surgery, and he was also extremely driven. He had vowed never to marry a nurse, but he fell in love with Kathleen Jackson, a nurse at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, and married her six months after they met.
