Join us this November to commemorate Remembrance Day at Winchester City Museum! Come along and meet our WW2 reenactors and learn what vital roles people carried out during the conflict.
Pte. Dunn of the Hampshire Regiment will walk you through the various pieces of kit that a British soldier would carry with him, from personal items to weapons, and discuss how such objects were used. Try on helmets and uniform pieces, handle guns, and see if you'd have what it takes to be a soldier!
Meanwhile, Sister Newell, a member of Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service, will display the various medical equipment used by the British Army during WW2, and discuss the nurse's experiences and those of the other women's services during the conflict.
There will also be all sorts of craft activities available, including our returning community poppy wreath project! Do you have a family member who served in the armed forces? We'd love you to add their name to our wreath!
