From the UK's new financial year staring this April, a number of regimental museums will lose their funding. This is due partly to the government cost reduction programme but also because many of these museums are no longer a reflection of the present structure of the Army. None of us like to see the closure of these museums, so there is no better way of showing support than by paying one or two of the museums under threat a visit.
