The
Royal Dragoon Guards can trace its ancestry back to 1685, as it was
formed by the amalgamation of four of the senior cavalry regiments
in the British Army. It recruits mainly in Yorkshire and Northern
Ireland and its Battle Honours emblazoned on its Standards embody the history of the British Army over 300 years.
The Museum is well laid out in spacious surroundings and tells the
story of the present day and former regiments from the late 17th century.
Displays include uniforms, prints, paintings, weapons and Standards,
all housed in well lit, clearly labelled show cases.
There is a small gift shop which sells books, ties and a good selection
of regimental regalia and memorabilia. There are facilities for disabled
access.
Why not visit our Museum the next time you are in York and find out
more about the fascinating History of the Regiment. |
