The first Paralympics, were first known as the "Stoke Mandeville" Games and they were held in Stoke Mandeville, England, 1948. These games were organised by Sir Ludwig Guttman, a neurologist and consisted of veterans from the Second World War who had spinal cord injuries. The games took place at "Stoke Mandville" Hospital and were held concurrently with the Summer Olympic Games, which, incidenlty, were held in the city of London.
