Museum of the Manchester Regiment
Our Friends Abroad: The Story of Manchester Regiment's Allied Units
January - June 2010
Based in Ashton Town Hall, the exhibition traces, through photographs and objects, the relationships the Manchester Regiment has developed over many years with units from across the world. The aim of regimental alliances is to promote mutual understanding and friendship between all ranks of both Regiments that are linked.
On public display for the first time is the uniform of Lt Col Nadir Khan, Commanding Officer of 1st Battalion (Scinde) The Frontier Force Regiment, Pakistan as well as that of Lieutenant-General Devraj Singh, Honorary Colonel of the 5th Battalion, The Sikh Regiment, India. Both these uniforms were presented to the Museum of the Manchester Regiment specifically for the exhibition by these officers.
We would be interested to hear from anyone who served with the Manchester Regiment and has memories of their service days, souvenirs they may wish to donate to the Museum or memories of the Regiment's allied units.
National Army Museum
Conflicts of Interest
Opens 12 September 2009
The National Army Museum is hosting a new exhibition which explores the role of the British Army on the world stage.
From Northern Ireland to the Falklands, Iraq to Afghanistan, Conflicts of Interest explores more than three decades of conflict at home and abroad. The exhibition includes personal accounts alongside exclusive items from the Museum's collections.
The exhibition's "At Home" area is themed around some of the most pressing issues facing the military today - changing attitudes towards gender and sexuality, and the debates around equality. The section also looks at the effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, crime and homelessness among veterans and the implications of the military covenant.
There's also Conflicting Opinions - an interactive space inviting contribution and comment. This area will be a forum for debate both within the exhibition and online, where there will be an opportunity to share opinions and take part in a poll on the conflicts depicted. Visitors will be invited - both online and within the Museum - to help to shape the exhibition.
