He says he cannot recognise even the 6/60 letter with the right eye. The loss of sight in his right eye is in no way due to the accident and his condition is such that he is only fit for light work.
2. The incapacity of the said G. S. Turner is partial and is only slightly due to the injury, but is largely due to his age (64) and feebleness.
Dated this 20th day of March, 1922.
(Signed) A. S. PERCIVAL,
Medical Referee."
