I had no idea the museum was there. Much preferable to those over-rated baubles (or are they copies ?) that we were forced to see on school trips.

Interesting to see the camouflaged Mk11 helmet from Salerno. I wonder how widespread the practice was ?

Those V.C. / M.M. groups are special, aren't they ? What a shame that the background info is limited to the original citation. There must be much more that could be said about their careers. One group includes the present Queen and the other commences in South Africa.
