- MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Fit for a Soldier. DESCRIPTION: The new 2 million pound Chelsea Barracks look more like a block of luxury flats, and, arriving for a tour of inspection was the Secretary for War, Mr John Profumo. This glasshouse with a difference sets new standards of army comfort, and there are spring mattresses which help to give the place a feeling of home comfort.
