Our Regiments

The museum’s collections tell the stories of the 32nd and 46th of Foot, the Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry (DCLI) and the Light Infantry (LI) regiments.  The DCLI and LI no longer exist operationally but are very much alive for the soldiers, officers and families who served with them. It’s our job to keep the heritage of these regiments alive and share their stories with as many people as possible.
