  Pretty cool, not dated? 1913 was the year prior to WWI.

  Fascinating that part of the War effort would include apatriotic appeal to the blind. Any chance these are former servicemen blinded in the Great War?

  You can read a little more about Private Hines in the online version of an exhibiton we did a few years ago called Fifty Australians. He became quite famous because of this photo, which was first published in late 1917.

  Thanks, Liz from AWM. That's a good piece about Mr. Hines which you have linked.
