Churchill did one better than just a hospital visit to a fellow officer in his
early career during 1898 in the Sudan. Hearing that fellow officer Richard
Molyneaux was badly wounded and needed a skin graft, he promptly showed up at
the hospital and donated a piece of himself for a skin graft; Churchill
received a letter 47 years later from the donee See a charming description
of the incident from WSC himself on page 100 of "Churchill A Life by Sir
Martin Gilbert", the Owl Book Edition by Henry Holt for the tale (among other
sources).
