Wednesday 2nd January 2013- Walter Yeo


Walter Yeo was a British sailor who was involved in in a 1916 battle in the seas where he gained severe blast burns to his face and lost his eyelids.
After growth and development of facial repairs hadn't gone far enough, his case stemmed the opening of a hospital which was devoted to facial repairs.

 
 
The image above shows the way in which facial and eyelid surgery imprioved facial injuries and disfigurements in the 1910s which is improtant as I can relate this to how it has dramatically improved (result wise, health and safety wise, etc) and can be used in my project as evidence.
Again, this is an argument against vainity which I will use as a main subject in my project.
