Yesterday Sam Gearing, a 19 year old Foundation student at RADA, came into the recording studio at Blind Veterans UK. Sam recorded an account written in 1916 by 19 year old Frank G Braithwaite, who was blinded in the Dardanelles.

I won’t say anymore apart from – please listen. I found Frank’s handwritten account incredibly moving and I also find Sam’s reading incredibly moving. Thank you Frank and thank you Sam.
