EDITORS COMMENTS
Dunstans Bus (24th October 1938): A poignant snapshot captures a bus parked outside the entrance to St Dunstans, an innovative rest and holiday home for blinded soldiers, sailors, and airmen in Ovingdean, East Sussex. The black and white format of this historic photograph by Sasha/Getty Images transports us back to pre-war England. The landscape vehicle stands proudly on the road, its sign proudly displaying 'St Dunstans' as a symbol of hope for those who sacrificed their sight while serving their country. This mode of transport was not just about getting from one place to another; it represented freedom and independence for these brave individuals. As we delve into the image's details, we notice the absence of people. Instead, our attention is drawn to the architectural facade that exudes strength and resilience. It serves as a reminder that even in times of war and adversity, humanity finds ways to care for its own. This archival photograph encompasses various themes: healthcare and medicine intertwine with military history while politics subtly lurk in the background. The presence of special forces adds an air of mystery surrounding this facility dedicated solely to aiding those affected by blindness. Intriguingly captured during 1930-1939—a period marked by uncertainty—the image evokes emotions ranging from nostalgia to admiration for both medical advancements at that time and societal efforts towards inclusivity. Sasha's print immortalizes this momentous chapter in British history where compassion triumphed over despair.
