I didn't serve in UK, I am a Captain (awaiting to become a Major in a few months' time) of the Italian Army MC Reserve.
As a Doctor I studied and worked in London for some time. Although Living in Holborn I went frequently to Chelsea, passing in front of the Lister Hospital, then the barracks, to visit the Royal Hospital and the Army museum.
I became friend of a Pensioner who served in Italy, he could describe every single mile of the roads he took to reach Milan....
