Visit to the Berkshire Yeomanry Museum

Saturday 16th June 2012

Saturday 16th June 2012

The Victorian Military Society has organised  a private tour of the Berkshire Yeomanry Museum in Windsor on Saturday 16th June 2012 from 2.30pm to 4.30pm. The Museum’s collection covers the role, arms and uniforms of the Regiment since its beginnings in 1794 including its activities during the Anglo-Boer War, the First World War, and Second World War.


In the Great War it served in the Middle East. Private Frederick Potts was awarded the VC for bravery at Gallipoli and the actor David Niven’s father was an officer in the regiment.


Today the regiment is represented by 94 (Berkshire Yeomanry) Signal Squadron, part of 39 (Skinners) Signal Regiment. One of the Squadron’s troops is their old neighbours the Royal Buckinghamshire Hussars.

 

The Museum is housed in the TA centre at the junction of Bolton Road and Bolton Avenue in Windsor. There is some limited parking.

 

This event is free to both members and non-members, however numbers for the visit to the Berkshire Yeomanry Museum are limited and so it would be appreciated if anyone wishing to come will notify the organiser at vmsdan@msn.com.
