[I learnt] that life as a solider was very difficult and that they were treated with no respect what so ever; especially for doing the most simplest of things like gnawing, coughing and slouching. They missed their family.<\/p><\/blockquote><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"testimonial-container no-image pexeto-parallax\"><div class=\"testimonial-info\"><div class=\"testimonials-details\"><h2>Simon Clough - Teacher<\/h2><span><\/span><\/div><\/div><blockquote><p>Brilliant singers, organizers and directors.
