Queen Victoria’s Army served all over the world. But what did their wives do? Were they utilised for more than their catering skills which kept the Army marching on its stomach? Did their role change during the 19th Century? Dan Allen of the Victorian Military Society gives us an insight into life for soldiers’ wives & children in Victorian times at home & abroad.
