The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers Museum (Royal Warwickshire) is situated at Pageant House in Jury Street, Warwick, England.
History
The trustees of the museum joined forces with
Heritage Lottery Fund.[2]
The museum moved to new premises at Pageant House in Jury Street in April 2023.[3]
Collections
The museum tells the history of the County infantry Regiment. This includes the present Regiment, the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers and the antecedent Regiments going down the line of the Royal Warwickshire Fusiliers (the Royal Warwickshire Regiment and the 6th Regiment of Foot).[4]
The museum is an Accredited museum (a national scheme run by the Arts Council), a
Fusiliers Museum (London) at the Tower of London.[5]
In November 2020, the museum purchased at auction the
Memorial Plaque of Euan Lucie-Smith of the Royal Warwickshire's 1st Battalion, one of the first mixed-heritage infantry officers in a regular British Army regiment, and the first killed in World War I, at the Second Battle of Ypres on 25 April 1915 .[6]
