Had a lot of fun making a wartime shortbread as part of #MuseumWeek Today’s focus was #environment so we looked at the topic of minimising food waste by exploring #WW2 rationing recipes. A lot of fun and the staff/volunteers loved it! #baking #recipe #rations

Happy Saint David’s Day!
#MuseumCollectionChallenge the theme is #StDavidsDay. Here is a #throwback to c.1994/5 where our regimental mascot can be seen participating in the Leek Eating Ceremony! We're not convinced on the taste though...

Enjoyed digging through the archive today to find this beautiful postcard for our #MuseumCollectionChallenge 💌 #museumarchive #museumcollection #love
Today is #LettersOfLove 💌 for our #MuseumCollectionChallenge. We love this postcard from Edward Uzzell (Welch Reg) to his wife Gretta complete with a poem and music sheet!
Enjoying seeing all of the #ValentinesDay content. I particularly like that stamps have meaning!
As it's Valentine's Day, here's a postcard revealing the romantic meanings behind the different angles that stamps are affixed to your post. Just be careful the next time you're in a hurry to send something... #ValentinesDay #exploreyourarchive

We will be focusing on the lower proper right section of the door focusing on better understanding how the door was carved and re-carved both on ancient times and more recently

Such a beautiful painting!
"Under the Protection of the Gods, 1908" - Watercolor Painting by Howard Carter.
For #RemembranceDay2021 we wish to share a poem by Kevin Ashman (formerly served with RRW). His beautiful words capture why we must #NeverForget all of those who fought for us. #LestWeForget #armisticeday #RemembranceDay #WeWillRememberThem
