Their first E.P. is called "Sing As We Go".
It features three War-Time classics:
"Pack Up Your Troubles In Your Old Kit Bag";
"It's A Long Way to Tipperary";
"Sing As We Go".
Former Royal Artillery Wireless Operator Ted Cruse, 82, said:
"Vision In Song" has given all of us a chance
to sing again, when we thought we never would.
"There is a real sense of camaraderie in the group."
The group meets regularly for rehearsals
and have performed their first concerts.
Jennie Hammond, the Community Support Worker who helped set up the Choir, said: "It all started with visiting one of our Veterans, called Danny.
"His great love was singing, but, when he lost his sight,
he was unable to be accommodated by his old Choir.
"I made it my mission to make sure
Danny could sing again as part of a Choir."
Their first EP is called "Sing As We Go".

"Vision In Song" has given me".
The songs are available to download and stream on online music services, with any proceeds made from downloads or streams of the songs to be donated to Blind Veterans U.K.
