In Warwick? A must-see for anyone intetested in military history or who just wants to know about how a tank regiment was formed
The Museum of The Queen's Royal Hussars的点评
点评:I hadn't planned to visit this museum today but had been meaning to check it out for a while. Called in and had a chat with the chap at reception. He was a veteran of the Regiment and was friendly and helpful. The Queen's Royal Hussars can trace their history back to both a local, Midlands regiment, (QOH) and an Irish regiment (QRIH) but have a lineage back to the 1600s. Waterloo, The Charge of the Light Brigade, Normandy, Korea, Hussars from the regiment fought there. Oh yes, and Winston Churchill served as an officer too! The quality and diversity of exhibits is first rate and although compact, they really cram lots into the two floors the museum covers. There are interactive displays, uniforms to try on, films showing serving members of the Regiment and literally hundreds of rare and interesting items on display. Had a long conversation with the curator who is clearly passionate about the museum and he took time to discuss numerous topics relating to the displays.
Overall, a hidden gem that needs shouting about, particularly if you enjoy military history.
翻译:我本来没有计划今天参观这个博物馆,但一直想看看它有一段时间了。打电话过去和接待处的小伙子聊了聊。他是该团的一名退伍军人,为人友善且乐于助人。女王皇家骠骑兵团的历史可以追溯到当地的米德兰军团 (QOH) 和爱尔兰军团 (QRIH),但其血统可以追溯到 1600 年代。滑铁卢,轻旅冲锋,诺曼底,朝鲜,该团的骠骑兵在那里作战。哦,是的,温斯顿·丘吉尔也担任过军官!展品的质量和多样性都是一流的,虽然紧凑,但博物馆的两层楼确实挤满了展品。这里有互动展示、可供试穿的制服、展示现役军人的电影以及数百件稀有且有趣的物品。与显然对博物馆充满热情的馆长进行了长时间的交谈,他花时间讨论了与展览相关的许多话题。
总的来说,这是一个需要大喊大叫的隐藏宝石,特别是如果您喜欢军事历史。
