An inspirational, interactive and comprehensive collection portraying the history of two famous local regiments, The Gloucestershire Regiment (The Glorious Glosters) and The Royal Gloucestershire Hussars. Dedicated to the history of both regiments and the challenges of soldiering around the world, both in peace and war, the museum is a tribute not only to their traditions and achievements but also their century’s long links with the County.

 

New Exhibition -  commemorates 60th Anniversary of the Battle of Imjin River in Korea in 1951.  The Glosters stood their ground against overwhelming odds for four days allowing the UN troops to regroup.  Most were taken prisoner and spent three years as POWs of the Chinese.
