About the
Worcestershire Militaria Museum
The WORCESTERSHIRE MILITARIA MUSEUM is an independent online museum exhibiting a selection of uniform and accoutrements from the Worcestershire Regiment, the Worcestershire and Sherwood Foresters Regiment and the 2nd Battalion Mercian Regiment, as well as the Queen's Own Worcestershire Hussars and its successors.
All of the regiments focused upon have roots in Worcestershire, their traditional recruiting region. However as times have changed so too has the need of the British army. Like with many other famous regiments, the Worcestershire Regiment has undergone many developments and amalgamations, and now the recruitment catchment spans many other counties.
The aim of the museum is to display original pieces of uniform and related items used by soldiers of these regiments, and where possible to share information about the men that wore them. Whether you are interested in military history, Worcestershire, militaria, the British Army, or are simply visiting the museum for educational or reference purposes, please enjoy your visit.
The museum is constantly evolving and welcomes any new pieces to its collection, which can be preserved for the future and exhibited online for the enjoyment of its visitors. Please visit the links page for more in depth information on these regiments and feel free to contact the museum.
