For Chelsea Pensioner Mike, putting on the scarlet coat makes him feel a foot taller. He often says that coming to the Royal Hospital Chelsea felt like returning to the Army. The familiar rhythm of daily life, the shared humour and the sense of being part of something bigger than yourself quickly made the Hospital feel like home. The camaraderie here is woven into every part of life, and Mike embraced it from the moment he arrived 🙌 When he suffered a recent stroke, that same spirit surrounded
