---|---|---|
But how, exactly? | ||
In the Royal Horse Guards | In the Corps of Royal Engineers | In the Commissariat |
You served in the Blues, conducting labyrinthine ceremonial duties and defending Her Majesty's person.
It was a life of exactness: of timing, of posture, of formation, of demeanour. You were the face of the Empire's military, and the stern guardians of its heart.
|
You were a sapper, a mechanic, an architect, an inventor – all while shells fell and bullets flew.
You made and maintained the engines of war. You built the roads and the rails they thundered along. You raised fortifications to protect your comrades. And you tumbled the walls of the enemy, with mines below and shells from above.
|
An army marches on its stomach. You had to find supplies by whatever means necessary.
The troops needed feeding, clothing, arming, billeting, training. Your methods had to be imaginative. Your contacts were not respectable. As long as the regiment was able to fight, few questions were asked.
