A Report to the Committee for men Blinded in Battle, Hon. John H. Finley, Acting President, Along With Accounts of the Opening of the Phare at Sevres,
A Report to the Committee for men Blinded in Battle details the work of Winifred Holt and her committee in supporting soldiers blinded during wartime. Focusing primarily on efforts during and after World War I, the report documents the establishment and operation of the Phare, a center in S vres, France dedicated to the rehabilitation and training of blinded veterans.
Holt provides firsthand accounts of the Phare's activities, including special events like Christmas and New Year's celebrations, offering insight into the lives of the veterans and the supportive community fostered at the center. This report provides valuable historical insight into early 20th-century efforts to assist and empower those with disabilities, and highlights the importance of social support and rehabilitation for veterans returning from war.
