Members of Scottish War Blinded are veterans of all ages, branches, and served in missions & conflicts past and present. All share experiences of serving their country, from D-Day veterans, through to those who undertook more recent missions overseas and closer to home. All now face the challenge of sight loss, caused by a wide range of conditions or by age, alongside new comrades.
