Description: For over three centuries, the Royal Hospital at Chelsea has been home to thousands of men who have served their country in the British Army. Men who fought at battles such as Malplaquet, Corunna, Waterloo, Inkerman, Passchendale, the Somme, Tobruk, Burma, Anzio and Normandy. Each one has his own story to tell. This selection collected verbatim from men still living gives a deep insight into the life of a soldier, made even more vivid by their actual words.
