The Blinded Soldiers and Sailors Gift Book

Excerpt from The Blinded Soldiers and Sailors Gift BookIN compiling the present work no regular plan has been observed. It is merely intended as a Gift Book which, in addition to fulfilling its object in this respect, aims at helping those brave fellows who have suffered one of the worst misfortunes that can befall a human being. Among all the tragical figures of the war none are more deserving of our sympathy and help than those whose injuries received in defence of the Empire - are of the nature of permanent blindness.
