FERMANAGH doctors who served in World War II, including a pioneering Enniskillen man who transformed breakfast tables across the globe, have been commemorated in a new book. The book contains a Roll of Honour recording all the Irish doctors who served, were decorated, or lost their lives in the conflict, including Dr Burkitt and a number of other Fermanagh natives. Dr Burkitt’s brother Robert Burkitt is also included in the Roll of Honour. A number of other Fermanagh doctors are included on the Roll of Honour, however the book does not elaborate on the details of the individual doctors. Having initially returned to Ireland after the war, Dr Parsons emigrated to New Zealand.
