Andy, have you read By tank Into Normany by Stuart Hills, Its brilliant read and he talks a little about chaplain assigned to his unit, During training the chaplain and the medics are seen as 'getting out of it' , but when the shooting starts he realises they have them ost difficult and dangerous job.
