Royal Welsh Regimental Museum & Zulu War Collection, Brecon- MM029

The Royal Welsh Regimental Army Museum, is the museum of the former 24th South Wales Borderers who famously fought at the Battles of Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift in the Zulu War of 1879. The modern Royal Welsh Regiment is combined from the South Wales Borderers, the Royal Welch Fusiliers and the Welch Regiments. The museum has an impressive
regimental collection from the late 18th century to the modern day with historical uniforms from the Welsh regiments and captured items from their opponents. Their medal collection is stunning but what really makes this museum unique is their Zulu War display with Zulu weapons & shields, British army uniforms & weapons and the tattered British Union Flag that flew over Rorke's Drift as the garrison were besieged. This museum is well worth a day out!
