ICM 35585 WWII British Army Mobile Chapel 1:35 Model Kit

For 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 theatres 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.
