Description: | A wooden box covered in printed paper, with a slot in the top. On the front is an image of a man's closed eyes, with the text 'Blinded For His Country - For You. St. Dunstan's Needs Money. Your Generous Help Is Very Earnestly Asked'. St. Dunstan's hostel was set up in 1915 to enable blinded servicemen to lead independent lives. The idea was revolutionary at the time, and the work of St. Dunstan's continues to this day.
