'The Royal Hospital is in effect, a self contained village centred arouns its own chapel, its communal dining -hall and its social club - a community of old gentlemen with similar backgrounds and like experiences...Throughout the years the Hospital has attracted the great - and the humble - from all walks of life. Its story is one of drama and of high comedy. It has survived criminal mismanagement and several attempts to close it down. In two World Wars it suffered grievous damage and many casualties. Today it stands high in the affection and regards of the public, and the famous scarlet coat has become a singular and exclusive badge of honour.'
