Kitchener's Bugle Posted 20 November , 2015 Share Posted 20 November , 2015 I recently had a very enjoyable visit to this new museum in the lovely location of Woodstock High street, Oxfordshire. The museum cost 3.2 Million to Build and opened in 2014. "The Soldiers of Oxfordshire is a new venture representing the County regiments of Oxfordshire. Principal amongst these is the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry which has a small but comprehensive collection of uniforms, weapons and other artefacts covering the period from its formation in 1741 to its amalgamation into the Royal Green Jackets in 1966. The museum also houses the regimental collection of The Queen's Own Oxfordshire Hussars with militaria and archives covering the history of the regiment from its formation in about 1794 to the present day, through its different roles as Yeomanry, Artillery and Royal Signals. The collection is owned by the Oxfordshire Yeomanry Trust. The majority of the collections are in store pending re-location to new premises under the auspices of the Soldiers of Oxfordshire Trust (SOFO)". Opening times and admission charges can be found on the website: http://www.sofo.org.uk/index.php Here are some images that I took to give you all a taster should you be thinking about a visit. As always please forgive the lighting and flashbacks......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trajan Posted 21 November , 2015 Share Posted 21 November , 2015 Yes, thanks for taking the trouble to put those up! Looks to be an excellent place to visit! Is it a private venturE? Whatever, perhaps we could draw Durham County's attention to this one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
