Robert Kenneth Wilson MB BChir, FRCSEd (26 January 1899 – 6 June 1969) was a general surgeon and gynaecologist in London, who in 1934 supposedly took a photograph purporting to show the Loch Ness Monster.
This became known as "the surgeon's photograph" and was widely regarded as genuine, although scepticism was expressed about this from the start.
Analysis and confessions by the perpetrators in the 1990s confirmed that it was an elaborate hoax. During the Second World War Wilson joined the Special Operations Executive and was parachuted behind enemy lines into German-occupied Europe.
For operations in occupied France, he was awarded the Croix de Guerre by the French government and the Order of Orange-Nassau by the Dutch government. He spent the latter part of his career as a surgeon in Papua New Guinea.
