Title: Artificial leg with extensive home repairs, England, 1914-1918 [Go to resource]
Description: St John & Red Cross fibre above knee prosthesis modified by a 1914-18 war amputee who refused an articulated limb and made very extensive repairs, using both cement and glue. He became a roof thatcher and tiler. When he eventually accepted a conventional prosthesis it had to be heavily weighted.
