Disabled Greek Soldiers Athletes -- The display in progress. The two young soldiers in foreground have both lost both their legs - blown up by land mines in 1949. Disabled Greek soldiers gave a remarkable demonstration of athletic skill when men from the Rehabilitation Center took part in a display of athletic exercises in the Athens Stadium. Artificial limbs proved no handicap to gymnastic ability and general fitness. June 29, 1954. (Photo by Sport & General Press Agency, Limited.).
