Segment 1 A portrait of Sir Robert Jones belonging to Prof. McFarlane is shown, and the two men discuss how well it represents Sir Robert. They discuss how they both first met Sir Robert, and about the various times they met him during the course of their own careers. The discussion moves on to the First World War, and Sir Robert's involvement in it. He set up a military orthopaedic surgery unit. The two men tell various anecdotes about this time, and about the different orthopaedic surgeons who worked with Sir Robert. Time start: 00:00:00:00 Time end: 00:07:03:09 Length: 00:07:03:09

They go back to talking about Sir Robert's involvement in surgery in the First World War. More anecdotes are told about Irish surgeons that they knew. The two men mention how many surgeons at the time wanted to work with Sir Robert. Time start: 00:07:03:09 Time end: 00:12:23:17 Length: 00:05:20:08
Segment 3 Sir Harry talks about when people first realised that Sir Robert's health was failing in 1932. He died the following year. Prof. McFarlane discusses how the training of over 200 masters of orthopaedic surgery has now taken place, and how Sir Robert was instrumental in setting up the training program. They discuss what a remarkable achievement this is, and how it is a fitting legacy for Sir Robert. Time start: 00:12:23:17 Time end: 00:19:37:11 Length: 00:07:13:19
