TOPIC:

The Green Howards museum in Richmond North Yorkshire has been closed for a year for a total revamp.
It reopened last Sunday so I paid a visit today to check out the improvements.
The museum has always been a favourite of mine, the medal room in particular which holds a very good display of medals from the South African campaign.
Being the local regiment of my area it holds a VC to a local man who won his VC in the Great War.
I was at school with his Grandson and I remember being told of his courage by the teachers.
I took a few pics while in there that I hope the forum finds interesting, please excuse the poor quality and reflections.
It is well worth a visit if in the area, good value for £4 admission.

Cheers
Paul

A few more pics.

Hello Paul,
I have not been there since I was a small boy, looks super, as are your photographs, although, I don't much care for the wretched maxim in the last, awful Wagnerian thing!
(built by schlooser's with sausage breath and bad manners!)
Kind regards Frank

Hello Frank,
Thank you for your comments.
The maxim was captured by the Yorkshire regiment at Ypres

I feel uncomfortable just seeing one again, but, it's merely a tool!

Frank,
Seeing one up close, you can understand the devastation they made
