Blindfold Boxing
Although most of the pictures in today’s list tell harrowing tales and near-death experiences, this photo describes the opposite. It’s a well-known fact that the ravages of war can eat into even the strongest of soldiers. That being the case, British army generals devised a strategy to boost morale among departing troops. At that time, boxing was the in-thing, so a good old blindfold boxing match coupled with oceanic waves worked miracles in lifting spits. Although the sport was later banned due to its vicious nature, it served as an excellent way to blow off steam.
