War Blind Yanks 195 Amputations Not Quite 4000
Washington April 10 There were 125 cases of total blindness and fewer than 4000 amputations among American forces in the war, according to the war risk insurance bureau.

Over 500 artificial limbs have been supplied to disabled men under federal act. Discharged servicemen unfit for further service are eligible for benefits and medical care, with disability ratings determining monthly compensation for the man and dependents.
