Baskets Blind Learning Nets Rehabilitation Servicemen

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lantern slide captures a poignant moment in history, showcasing blind ex-servicemen from World War I as they undergo rehabilitation by learning to make nets and baskets. Taken around 1916, during the Victorian and Edwardian era, this image serves as a powerful reminder of the challenges faced by those who served their country in times of war. The determination and resilience displayed by these individuals is truly inspiring, as they adapt to their new circumstances and acquire new skills despite their disabilities. Through this vocational training program, these brave men are not only learning a valuable trade but also reclaiming their independence and sense of purpose. As we reflect on this snapshot from the past, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by countless servicemen during WWI and the importance of providing support for those who have been wounded or disabled in service to their country. The compassion and dedication shown towards these blind ex-servicemen serve as a testament to the human spirit's ability to overcome adversity with strength and perseverance. This photograph from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection is a timeless piece that honors the bravery and resilience of those who have served our nation, serving as a tribute to their sacrifice and commitment.
