It’s !

We’re celebrating our amazing team of Learning and Engagement Volunteers and all they do to support the work of the Museum - this week and every week. From delivering school workshops to family craft sessions to object handling activities, our volunteers are key.

Each Wednesday over the summer months volunteers like Emma will be in the Museum to chat about our regimental stories and help visitors get hands-on with our history!

“This story isn’t just his; it’s everybody’s.”

We were delighted to attend a reception at The Royal Highland Fusiliers Museum this morning to mark their acquisition of Fusilier Dennis Donnini’s Victoria Cross. The medal was presented by members of Dennis’ family, acknowledging the great care our museums take to preserve and share stories just like his.

Dennis was the youngest soldier of the Second World War to receive the Victoria Cross, aged 19.
