Biography
Platoon Sergeant Albert Chambers was a Great War veteran who served in the trenches at the Somme in 1916. Too old for active service in 1939, he joined the Home Guard and trained younger men in fieldcraft and marksmanship. He organised the defence of key bridges and factories around Nottingham. His experience from the First World War made him an invaluable mentor to the volunteer defenders who stood ready for invasion.
Biography (Russian)
Взводный сержант Альберт Чемберс был ветераном Первой мировой, служившим в окопах на Сомме в 1916 году. Слишком старый для действующей службы в 1939 году, он вступил в Ополчение и обучал молодых людей полевому мастерству и стрельбе. Он организовал оборону ключевых мостов и заводов вокруг Ноттингема. Его опыт Первой мировой сделал его бесценным наставником для добровольческих защитников.
