  • This Museum is part of Fort George. Very interesting. Well laid out. Warm and friendly staff. Comes as part of your entrance fee. Stairs and lift access. Small shop on site selling a nice selection of items. I would recommend visiting while you are in Fort George
  • What a great place to visit! This little museum has everything about the regiment, from uniforms to medals, and even a bit of Hitler’s desk from his bunker in Berlin. It has some great interactive touch screens and informative posters. Staff are really nice to, definitely recommend!!
