Steven Broomfield Posted 31 May , 2012 Share Posted 31 May , 2012 Martin - thanks for this. Question: I can't work out from the link whether the Regimental Museum is actually open to visitors (or where it is, for that matter). I shall be in the Waterford area in the latter part of June, and assuming I can persuade the family they'd like to go, is there a Museum to visit?
