EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of quiet industry and camaraderie at St. Dunstan's Hospital for Blind Soldiers and Sailors during the First World War. Established in 1915, the hospital provided care and rehabilitation for soldiers and sailors who had been blinded in the conflict. In this image, a group of men are seen intently focused on their work, weaving door mats in the frame of a large loom. The door mats were one of many crafts produced by the residents of the hospital, providing them with a sense of purpose and pride, as well as generating income for the institution. The hospital's workshops were an integral part of the rehabilitation process, helping to restore a sense of normality and independence to the wounded and injured. The 1910s were a time of great hardship and sacrifice, with the horrors of the First World War leaving a deep scar on the nation. Yet, amidst the darkness, there were moments of hope and resilience, as seen in this poignant photograph of the door mat makers at St. Dunstan's Hospital.
