Just got back from the Royal Green Jackets Museum, Winchester, left our mark for both 3/60Th and NFOE,always take a Marketing Document out with you .
Great stuff on the Royal Americans and our chosen period, £3.00 entry, best £3.00 you can spend .
They have a Temp Exhibit on the 17Th August to 19Th September called 'Conquest of Canada and the Battle of Quebec', it has to be a must visit if you can.

Not every museum where you have a game that involves shooting a Baker rifle at the French.........

That was my first (but not my only) experience of firing a Baker
Always a superb Museum, and I'll visit again for the Quebec exhibit,- thanks for the heads-up Colin
On my first visit the curator gave me several Rifle Brigade buttons, and a shoulder flash.
Best,
Judith

Now my old mate Jamey was a regimental piper for the Royal Green jacket's when he was in the mob.
(Geoff and Dingo, yes, Jamey from Farquharson's)
Not being a regiment that has pipers, when they found out they had one, they made good use of him anyway.
