"She was one of the nicest little Girls in the Home & a great favourite with us all & also with her teacher & her school-fellows, her teacher was particularly fond of her." Find out about the moving story of 8-year old Phyllis in 1909, her appendicitis and the emerging world of surgery for the disease, which was still something of a newly recognised condition in the Victorian and Edwardian eras. King Edward VII also had surgery to remove an appendix before his coronation in 1902.
