Royal British Legion war grave pilgrimages: a medical escort's perspective.
The Royal British Legion organizes pilgrimages to nearly all parts of the world where British servicemen and service-women and their allies fought and died. The Pilgrimage Department has taken thousands of widows, other relatives, veterans and friends to visit the grave of a loved one or comrade buried overseas. The parties of pilgrims are escorted by Service medical officers and nurses of the Regular and Reserve Armed Forces. The role of the medical escort is described.
