The Royal Green Jackets Museum & The Rifles Information Display

Following the amalgamation of the Light Infantry and the Royal Green Jackets in February 2007, The Rifles Museums at Winchester offer a combined outstanding collection of uniforms, weapons, silver, paintings and medals, including 34 of the Regiment’s 59 Victoria Crosses, all impressively displayed; an in-depth record of the history of the Royal Green Jackets and its antecedent regiments from 1741 to the present day; and a magnificent diorama of Waterloo with 22,000 model soldiers and horses. In addition, the museums tell the story of The Light Infantry from its inception in 1968 with displays covering the Regiment’s operations in Northern Ireland, the Gulf War and in support of the United Nations.

The regimental archive is housed in a separate building on site and may be viewed by appointment.
