The people of Church Stretton turned out to welcome these arrivals to the town in October 1943. They were blind prisoners of war who had been repatriated, and they were on their way to St Dunstan's, a charity for rehabilitating the war blinded, which had been evacuated to the Shropshire town from the south coast in 1940. St Dunstan's, which is today called Blind Veterans UK, stayed in Church Stretton for six years.
