Daily Mail reporter recently met a man who is probably the unluckiest in the world.

Ho is Sergt. A. M. Nichols, a St. Dunstan's man, who has no eyes, no hands and very few ribs, and he la recovoring from his fifth motor Ing accident, which has left him with one of his good riba broken, two others badly damaged, a lacer ated knoo and concussion.
