There is some great stuff hidden away, not always on show I'm afraid. One of the most amazing items is the original order that sent off the Charge of The Light Brigade at Balaclava. There is also the bloodstained sash that General Moore wore at Corunna. My father was also fascinated by the collection of muskets and weapons going back through the ages.<br />Well worth a visit.<br />Cheers<br />SimonSimonTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-34114693653607050282012-02-21T08:30:27.344+00:002012-02-21T08:30:27.344+00:00Great post Lee.

Visiting NAM is one of our objectives when the Spanish Lardies Brigade fly in April to attend Salute: a full long weekend, with Friday heading to Bovington Tank Museum as we land in Gatwick early in the morning, Saturday morning Salute, the NAM in the afternoon and Sunday morning the Imperial War Museum.
