This is the story, in words and pictures, of Blind Veterans UK, an
organization that was founded 100 years ago by Sir Arthur Pearson,
who was himself blind, during the First World War, in order to
bring hope and practical help to British and Allied servicemen
blinded in the service of their country. It also tells of how light
from the torch which Pearson lit in 1915 spread to all corners of
the earth, to which his beloved St Dunstaners returned, having
'graduated' from the mother organization in Regent's Park - for
example, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa. Herewith are
accounts of the lives of many St Dunstaner's/Blind Veterans, who
each in his or her unique way, triumphed over blindness, together
with a unique collection of photographs, including those provided
by Blind Veteran's UK, by the Pearson family, and by the families
of St Dunstaners throughout the world. And this includes the story
of my own grandfather, Thomas Waldin, who was himself a St
Dunstaner.
