| Description: | ELLERMAN'S HOSPITAL Disabled war veteran practises walking with crutches at Ellerman's Hospital. Physical Disabilities. Man walking with crutches down short corridor toward camera. His arms are doing all the work. He lurches forward on the crutches then drags his legs along behind. But he sets quite a fast pace and looks very pleased. He stops, breaks into a happy grin & hits one fist into the other palm. Then he turns and lurches back. Another back & forth run. Next the man doing some more practice exercise outdoors in a garden. He is probably a disabled veteran who was wounded in World War One. Handicapped; crippled; medicine; rehabilitation. | |
