Volunteers contributing to Scarlets and Blues transcribed data on the stories, lives and interactions of WWI-era staff and soldiers at the Royal Hospital Chelsea. The project was led by The National Archives.
This page provides access to the document images for Scarlets and Blues, to the data transcribed by project volunteers, and to a record of the project itself. We are hugely grateful to everyone who contributed.
