Unveiled this statue on 16 October 2018 to commemorate the amazing achievements of the blind veterans from the First World War. The statue entitled Victory Over Blindness, depicts seven blinded First World War soldiers leading one another away from the battlefield with their hand on the shoulder of the man in front. Realised by artist and sculptor Johanna Domke-Guyot. It stands proudly outside Manchester Piccadilly station as the only permanent memorial to the injured of that conflict. Thats great tribute to WWI soldiers.

My son & I came across this touching, bronze sculpture right outside the front of Manchester Piccadilly station. It depicts seven life-sized soldier figures wearing blindfolds and guiding one another. Very emotional
