        Artificial Limb Making

        Occupational therapy turns full circle, as amputee soldiers learn to make artificial limbs for others

        Non-Fiction 1916 1 mins Silent

        AD

        Overview

        There is some neat symmetry to the idea of training amputee soldiers learning to make artificial limbs for others. This newsreel item was no doubt intended as a positive message, much like the 'and finally' of modern TV news. But today, it also serves as a poignant reminder of just how many were physically disabled by their wartime experience.
