EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures a moment of respite and camaraderie at St. Dunstan's Hostel in Regent's Park, London, during the turbulent year of 1915. Amidst the chaos and devastation of the First World War, this image offers a glimpse into the daily life of soldiers and sailors who had been blinded in the line of duty. The two blind officers, dressed in their military uniforms, are escorted by a compassionate nursing staff member. Their faces, though obscured, convey a sense of determination and hope as they take in the fresh air and enjoy the tranquility of the park. St. Dunstan's Hostel was established specifically to rehabilitate and support soldiers and sailors who had lost their sight during the Great War. The hostel provided essential services, including training in various skills, such as woodworking, shoemaking, and music, to help the servicemen regain their independence and reintegrate into society. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men and the dedicated efforts of those who worked tirelessly to support them during their recovery. As we reflect on the history of the First World War, it is crucial to remember the stories of those who were affected by it in unique and profound ways. This image of blind servicemen at St. Dunstan's Hostel is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of community and support during times of adversity.
