facility at Tedworth House &ndash; which aims to look after those injured while serving their country &ndash; is opening up, with 29 people initially moving in.<\/p>\n<p>These will be joined by more individuals at later dates, with resident numbers expected to reach 50 by spring next year.<\/p>\n<p>Aims of the centre include the intellectual and social recovery of personnel who have progressed from their initial rehabilitation stages at Headley Court.<\/p>\n<p>Major Peter Smith is running the complex and told the BBC that many of the soldiers are worried about what they are unable to achieve going forward.<\/p>\n<p>He stated: &quot;What we'd like them to focus on is what they can do.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The news comes shortly after people across the UK showed their support to the
