The Regimental Museum - page three

Discover the fascinating history of the King's Own soldiers who have served the country in peace and war.  The museum brings to life the story of the soldiers who served against Napoleon, Kaiser William and Adolf Hitler.  It's not all bullets and bombs though.  Objects and photographs, medals, fascinating letters, carefully crafted silver and works of art bring home the real nature of military service.
