Blind Blinded Learning Massage Rehabilitation Servicemen

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful vintage print captures a poignant moment in history, as servicemen blinded during World War 1 are seen learning anatomy and massage techniques in the 1920s. The image showcases the resilience and determination of these troops who were left permanently disabled by the horrors of war. The scene is set in a rehabilitation center, where these brave individuals are being trained to adapt to their new reality. Despite their blindness, they are shown actively engaging with the material, eager to learn and improve their skills. It is a testament to their strength and perseverance in the face of adversity. The use of lantern slides adds an air of nostalgia to the photograph, transporting us back to a time when such rehabilitation methods were cutting-edge technology. The Victorian and Edwardian era setting further emphasizes the historical significance of this moment. As we reflect on this image, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by these servicemen for our freedom. Their courage and determination serve as an inspiration to us all, showing that even in darkness there is light if one has the willpower to persevere.
