I can't see to read or write now."They've shown me how to do all sorts of things in new ways since I lost my sight, things like gardening which I never thought I would be able to do again."
Chief executive of Blind Veterans UK, Maj Gen Nick Caplin said: "Remembrance Sunday is a very poignant time for our blind veterans as we reflect on the sacrifice and service of all members of the Armed Forces."
