| Description: | A DAY WITH BLINDED SOLDIERS AT ST. DUNSTAN'S Good footage of blind men being taught skills and taking part in recreation at St Dunstan's. Excellent story on Blind Soldiers and Sailors at St. Dunstan's home/school. Opens with shot of a few men sitting at outdoor table weaving baskets. Next; men standing beside tables lined up like desks in a classroom; they are repairing boots. Men and women sitting in front of some machines - maybe Braille typewriters. Some guys mending nets; with a lady looking over the work. Behind tall fence of chicken wire; 3 men holding chickens. A merry scene: a dance held in the yard in front of the house; mostly they've got enough women to go round; but there are men dancing together! Next; 10 guys walking on a path; with their arms on the preceding man's shoulder -- the first one may be sighted. Rowing on the river. Then another walk; this time the men are wearing suits and walking along by a fence. More boating -- climbing into small boats; starting to row. war casualties; wounded; disabled; education; training; disabilities | |
