The Museum tells the fascinating story of the Royal Welsh, one of the British Army's most famous regiments. The Regiment's long history, dating back to the 1680s, is told through many objects, including uniforms, medals, weapons and models. The Royal Welsh have seen action in many prominent events, including the Victorian British campaign in South Africa, and both World Wars. Forty-three of the Regiments soldiers have recieved the Victoria Cross, and the museum commemorates their sacrifice and heroism, as well as that of all the men and women associated with the Royal Welsh.
