This type of news, makes places like WW2Talk all the more important for helping with research and collating information and documents.
Two are almost within spitting distance of me and housed in county council funded historic buildings, on their own floor - so I hope they have a future. The others, I really should visit.
Been in touch with the Hussars museum two weeks ago as I was looking for 8 KRIH recollections/photos. They hope to open in May(ish) in the new facility in Warwick. All the best Andreas
