This museum is dedicated to the memory of all those who have served their country as Soldiers of Gloucestershire. Discover the lives of Gloucestershire soldiers from the last 300 years. Try on Army uniforms, look into a First World War trench and learn through our interactive displays. Do you know how the Gloucestershire Regiment won the Back Badge? See how the Royal Gloucestershire Hussars survived fighting in the desert. Have you felt how heavy a Rifleman's rucksack is?There is plenty for the whole family to do, children's games, uniforms to try on plus a free quiz. Our story begins in 1694, travels through the Napoleonic Wars, the Age of Empire, Worlds Wars, Korea and right up to modern day conflicts.
Spent a good 90 minutes there today and could have spent another 90 on top, so much fascinating information and displays about all the past wars. Thoroughly enjoyed the displays very informative, gutted I had to leave to be honest. The sacrifices all those men made and it was great to see all there uniforms and medals. Thanks for a pleasant visit. David Thomas
