EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful vintage print captures a poignant moment in history, as servicemen blinded during World War 1 are shown learning new skills to adapt to their changed circumstances. The image, dating back to the 1920s, showcases these brave individuals as they engage in the art of basket and net making. The impact of war is evident in the faces of these troops, who have been permanently affected by the horrors they experienced on the battlefield. Despite their disabilities, they demonstrate resilience and determination as they focus on mastering this craft as part of their rehabilitation process. The scene is a testament to human strength and ingenuity in the face of adversity. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served during this tumultuous period in history, highlighting both the physical and emotional toll that war can take on individuals. Through this touching photograph, we are given a glimpse into a time when Victorian and Edwardian values still held sway, but also when progress was being made towards supporting those who had been wounded or traumatized by conflict. It is a snapshot of compassion and hope amidst the darkness of war - an image that resonates with us even today.
