This chapter discusses the development of South African expertise in the field of reconstructive surgery. A comparative study of two hospitals is presented here: the Brenthurst Red Cross Military Hospital for Plastic Surgery established for white soldiers drawn from both South Africa and abroad, and No 110 Military Hospital Voortrekkerhoogte set up for the treatment of those classified as “Non-European”—soldiers who formed part of the auxiliary Non-European Army Services. The differences between the hospitals reflected not just the ambiguities of a segregationist state that had nevertheless taken on a more liberal bent during the War; they also highlight the ways in which medicine envisioned the white male body as the norm, an image that was highlighted by reconstructive surgery with its focus on the aesthetics of the physical body and the face. The chapter therefore addresses the treatment of soldiers at both hospitals with particular attention however paid to Voortrekkerhoogte: the types of injury incurred and the methods of treatment. While reconstructive surgery remained a relatively new field, the opportunities provided by the War allowed for invention and innovative methods of treatment, gaining Brenthurst some renown. Less acknowledged though was treatment at Voortrekkerhoogte where black bodies also formed the terrain on which expertise was built.
