HE soldier is really a wanderer on the faco of the earth, in contact with many strange and beautiful things," said Fiold-Marshal Sir Claude Auchinleck, former Commander-in-Chief of Middle East and India Commands, when he opened the Army Art Society's 18th annual exhibition at the Imperial Instituto, London, recently.
