EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Sight Beyond Sight: The Blind Heroes of St. Dunstan's Periscope during WWI" In this evocative photograph, we witness the testament of resilience and determination as we behold a St. Dunstan's periscope, meticulously crafted by war-blinded patients of St. Dunstan's Hospital during the First World War. The periscope, with its original paper cover still intact, is a poignant reminder of the indomitable human spirit that refused to be defeated by adversity. St. Dunstan's Hospital, founded in 11th century England, was renowned for its commitment to caring for soldiers with various disabilities, including those rendered blind by the horrors of war. During the Great War, the hospital took on a new mission: to help blinded soldiers regain their independence and contribute to the war effort by manufacturing essential military equipment. Among these items was the St. Dunstan's periscope, an ingenious device that allowed soldiers to observe the battlefield from the safety of their trenches. The periscope in this photograph was created by one such war-blinded man, whose deft hands transformed raw materials into a vital piece of military equipment. The retaining paper cover, bearing the printed title "St. Dunstan's Periscope," serves as a testament to the patients' dedication and the hospital's unwavering commitment to their rehabilitation. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the history of medical and military innovation during WWI, as well as the inspiring stories of the brave men and women who defied their disabilities to make a difference. The St. Dunstan's periscope, made by the blind, stands as a symbol of hope, perseverance, and the power of human ingenuity in the face of adversity.
