Chelsea's Scarlet Army: Episode Four

Chelsea Pensioners are sharing some poignant memories in the latest edition of our six-part documentary series, 'Chelsea's Scarlet Army'.
 
In a year of commemorations, they leave the comfort of the Royal Hospital Chelsea to visit the trenches of the First World War.
 
"You have to go, to understand what the men went through..."
 
Meanwhile, back at Chelsea the pensioners welcome a newcomer - ex-Army nurse Gillian McDonald, who has difficulty squeezing 73 years of belongings into her new single room.
