Al The Royal Hospital

Of all the events in London's pageant-studded year,‘ by far the most moving is Oak Apple Day at the Royal Hospital Chel- sea.

On this occasion, senior army officers, or royalty, review the red-coated veterans of 70 or _80 summers whose loyal service has won them a last billet here and a picturesque uniform which is a passport to fellowship and hon- our anywhere in the United King- dom. ‘

Celebrated on May 29th, Oak Apple Day is the Pensioners’ toast to their ‘founder, Charles II, on the dual anniversary of his brith and restoration to the throne. Ne- ver once in the past 250 years. come ‘blitz or flying bomb, have these grand old men failed to mark the day.

The story is, though the hospi- tal authorities deny it, that the hospice was founded when Nell Gwynne, Charles‘ favourite lady friend, urged him to do something for the veterans to be seen beg- ging for every street corner. Ei- ther Charles was very fond of Nell or every bit the diamond in the roll gh . modern hisotirans make him out, for he set his nob- lest architect, Sir Christopher Wren, to build a truly elegant home for the old soldiers.

The Oak Apple Day inspection (tickets for which may be obtain» ed by applying in writing to the Governor, Royal Hospital, Chel- sea) takes placein the colonnad- ed courtyard of the great central building whose enormous chim- neys and steep-pitched mots make it surprisrlnglylike colonial Willimasburg, for much of which Wren was also architect.

Gardeners hand out bouton- nicres of young oak leaves to all comers, and a statue of Charles in the centre of the courtyard is clothed in ﬁresh oak branches. This is in grateful remembrance of the hollow oak which safely hid the king after the Civil War’: roy- allst rout.

The Pensioners‘ step is not so ‘brisk today, but the parade runs off with clockwork precision all the same, merely accentuated by the need of some for cane or crutch. While a Guards‘ band plays softly in the background, four picturesque old drummers lead their companies into hollow square formation. Those too fee- ble to parade watch from seals in the colannade. .

On the stroke’ of eleven the band strikes up ‘The Queen-" the Pensioners pull or prop themselves to attention, and the visiting dignitary, usually a dis- tinguished field marshal of the same vintage as the old soldiers, makes his appearance. It is more like a reunion in Valhalla than a formal inspection, for the mar- shal walks along the tottering lines, joking with each veteran a bout the campaigns conjured up by the latter’s medals. '

Afterwards, the Pensioners r£.-

tire to their Founders Day plum pudding and extra pint of beer, and visitors may inspect the quarters. Each old soldier has a dciminu-tlve bunkroom with bed, wardrobe, desk, chair and radio earphones. On its walls will be souvenirs and photographs of the Gibson -girl lovelies of his young- er days. Just to prove that old soldiers never die, there's usual- ly a bit of 1957 leg art as well. And, of course, snap shots of the grandchildren.

The military duties of the Chel- sea Pensioner are limited to at- tendance at church, pay and Founder's Day p a r a d e 3. He's supposed to make his bed and tidy up his bunkroom, but a char comes in each day to do these chores if he’s disinclined. Late passes are to be had for the ask- ing, and no reveille sounds next morning. Then there's his daily ration of beer. Bugles sounding from the Guards barracks across the street underscore the green- ness of‘. his pastures.

The fullstren-gt-h of the Royal H-ospital is 500; the oldest man is 92 and the rawest recruit pushing 60. Some one of them has seen service in every op‘-erationi from the Egypbiam campaign of 1882 to World War II.

During the Hitler War so many bombs sought out the hos- pital that casualities hit the ac- tive- service f-igure. Air-raid shel- ters met with a poor reception, "however, and no one was able to think of a good answer to the
