The Regiment Museum comprises four exhibition rooms with a connecting corridor. A suggested plan of viewing is available in a leaflet, on entry – but the visitor has at all times full freedom of choice as to circulation. Life size models are displayed showing how soldiers were dressed and equipped in the wars of the early and mid eighteenth century, the First and Second World Wars and the Malayan campaign of the 1950s.

The Regimental collection of artefacts on view comprises stands of old battalion colours (Sovereign’s & Regimental); medals; orders and decorations; portrait miniatures; paintings; uniforms; weapons; battle “trophies” and a display of photographs from the mid-19th century to date. |
