GREAT WAR - A RABBIT SNARE MADE BY A ST. DUNSTAN'S WAR BLINDED SOLDIER with related card inscribed price ticket Blind Veterans UK, formerly St Dunstan's was founded by Arthur Pearson, who had himself lost his sight due to glaucoma, because of the increasing numbers of British soldiers returning from the front lines during the First World War suffering from blindness, Pearson established a hostel for these soldiers as well as blinded sailors and airmen. His intention was that, with training and assistance, they could go on to lead productive lives and would not have to depend on charity.The hostel's first location was in Bayswater Hill, London. Shortly after, the organisation moved to St. Dunstan's Lodge in Regent's Park, along with its first 16 members. The Committee's work was praised by the London press at the time - a reference to the Lodge appeared in The Illustrated London News in 1915, which said: 'in a corner of London's most beautiful park is a house where miracles are worked.' On Pearson's death in 1921, the Chairmanship fell to Ian Fraser, who had been placed in charge of the charity's after-care activities by Pearson, providing assistance and social events such as reunion meetings for the blinded veterans after they had left the hostel in Regent's Park. Fraser had served during the First World War in the King's Shropshire Light Infantry and was blinded by a bullet on the Somme. Having become generally known by the name of the building in which it was based, the organisation then formally changed its name to St. Dunstan's in 1923. Fraser remained as Chairman until his death in 1974. During the Second World War, the charity admitted those who had lost their sight through their work in the auxiliary services, women's services and munitions factories, besides service personnel from Poland, Netherlands, United States, Canada and South Africa.[4] Due to concerns about potential air raids on Brighton during the Blitz, Blind Veterans UK evacuated its operation from Brighton to the town of Church Stretton, Shropshire, where it occupied the Longmynd Hotel and other buildings, setting up an industrial training centre and a hospital. By 1946, the year it returned to Brighton, the charity cared for over 2,000 blind ex-Service personnel.

George Vancouver (1757-1798) who had travelled with Cook on his second and third voyages, commanded HMS Discovery on the expedition to secure lands for Britain in the Pacific Northwest. He was also charged to explore the coastline between 30 and 60 degrees latitude with the intention of discovering the Northwest Passage connecting the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. The expedition commenced in England, proceeding around the Cape of Good Hope, continuing to New Zealand, King George's Sound (discovered and named by Vancouver), Tahiti, the Hawaiian Islands, San Diego, Monterey, and San Francisco etc., progressing up the Northwest coast to Nootka Sound and Vancouver island which was named after him. Rear Admiral Lord William FitzRoy KCB (1782-1857), was the third son of Augustus FitzRoy, 3rd Duke of Grafton. He entered the Navy on 21 April 1794 and was later promoted to post-captain in 1804, taking command of the frigate Aeolus. He was present at the battle of Cape Ortegal on 4 November 1805, and at the invasion of Martinique in February 1809. In June 1810 he commissioned the frigate Macedonian to serve on the Lisbon station. On 7 April 1811 FitzRoy was dismissed from the Navy after a court-martial found him guilty of "False Expense of Stores" and "Tyranny & Oppression". FitzRoy was charged with falsifying the ship store report and selling the surplus for personal profit. He had sentenced a seaman to 48 lashes for drunkenness, four times the legal maximum. FitzRoy was declared incapable of serving again as an officer, but his former rank was restored to him by the Prince Regent the following August. He received the promotion of rear admiral in 1837, but received no further employment in the Navy. In addition to his career in the Navy he was elected Member of Parliament for Thetford in 1806, but did not actually sit in Parliament until 1810. (3)
