St Dunstan's Hostel advertisement, WW1

A full page of The Tatler devoted to reporting on the work of St. Dunstan's Hostel for Blinded Soldiers and Sailors in Regent's Park, London. The hostel sought to rehabilitate men blinded in the war and to equip them with new skills. Pictures show the workshops with men learning carpentry and boot repairing while several testimonials show how patients have successfully managed with a new or existing trade. One man has become a masseur, another a poultry farmer and a shorthand clerk has returned to his old job at the Asiatic Petroleum Company and has been treated entirely as any other member of staff
