what character was blinded?


I last saw this when it was first shown in the UK 20 years ago!
what character was blinded in the trenches and did Marty die in a city in Flanders, not trenches?
I cant believe Andrew Clarke who recently starred in neighbours played Marty-he was my first ever crush!

Cyril Barnshaw.... I think
it was the weedy guy who was a librarian before the war.
I think Marty died in a bomb crater.

The blinded character was Max Earnshaw (Cyril was his Politician father).
Martys character was shot dead in the village of Hammell (an historicly accurate battle). Cheers.

I had Anzacs on the TV behind me while I was doing homework.
I am reading the book that the min-series is based on by Patsy Adams-Smith. It's an intimidating looking book but it's interesting.

Thanks everyone.

It's a drama about the First World War - odds are there will be at least one character who is blinded. And here's a newsflash - some are killed in action as well.
