In May 1938 a confidential meeting was held between Officers of the Royal Hospital Chelsea and Government Departments responsible for Civil Defence planning. All participants agreed that should war come, the 500 Chelsea Pensioners living in the Royal Hospital should be evacuated to a place of safety outside London. However, toxic politics and complex logistics meant that on the outbreak of war in September 1939 only 50 Pensioners were evacuated, to a country house in Herefordshire. The remainder, many carrying physical and psychological scars from the First World War, sought sanctuary in hastily constructed air-raid shelters and awaited their fate. Using recently uncovered archive material, some stored for decades in an attic at the Royal Hospital, this book chronicles the story of Chelsea’s old soldiers, once more in the line of fire as they faced the horrors of the London Blitz.
