Today (23 November 2017) the National Army Museum is publishing a collection of objects which reveal the death of an ordinary soldier, Private Percy Ottley, and the impact on his loved ones at home.
This cavalry regiment was formed in 1715. It served in many British Army campaigns until 1960, when it was merged into the 9th/12th Royal Lancers (Prince of Wales’s).
This infantry unit was formed in 1881 and recruited in the Irish province of Ulster. It continued in British Army service until 1968, when it was merged into The Royal Irish Rangers.
Recent research on the Museum's collection of portrait miniatures has revealed new information about artists and untold stories about some of the subjects they portrayed.
This cavalry regiment was raised in 1685. It continued in British Army service until 1922, when it was merged into the 3rd Carabiniers (Prince of Wales's Dragoon Guards).
Today, the National Army Museum has unveiled its dramatic transformation following the three-year £23.75 million re-development, including £11.5 million from The National Lottery.
Although factors like patriotism, financial security and the chance to travel have persuaded men and women to enlist, sport has also played a major role in British Army recruitment.
Formed in 1715, this cavalry unit had a long and distinguished service with the British Army. In 1922, it was merged into the 13th/18th Royal Hussars (Queen Mary's Own).
