Blinded Ex-servicemen Learning to Repair Boots.

Large huts were erected in the grounds of St Dunstan’s Lodge as spaces where the blinded ex-servicemen assisted by St Dunstan's (now Blind Veterans UK) could learn a range of practical occupational skills. This photo shows a number of them learning to repair boots.
