Confession before the fightFor
many servicemen forced to live between life and death, turning to
higher powers becomes essential. When soldiers and officers need moral
support, representatives of spiritual service—military chaplains—are
always nearby. During World War II, military clergy served in the armies
of many warring countries, including the British armed forces. The
British Army Chaplains Department, established in 1796, was renamed the
Royal Army Chaplains’ Department (RAChD) in February 1919. During World
War II, British military chaplains performed their duties selflessly
across all theaters of war. To conduct services in field conditions, the
clergy used specially equipped mobile field chapels. One such chapel
was based on an American-made G7117 truck. The closed cargo area
contained a small field altar with necessary service equipment, and
could accommodate a harmonium. These specially equipped trucks of
various types served in all combat areas.Number of details286+33Figures AvailabilityYesFigures count5
