The Royal Logistic Corps Museum

The Royal Logistic Corps Museum

 

The Royal Logistic Corps Museum tells the story of logistic support to the British Army from Agincourt to the modern day. Based at Worthy Down near Winchester, the museum holds the collection of the Royal Logistic Corps and the collections of its forming corps, including the Royal Corps of Transport, the Royal Army Ordnance Corps, Royal Pioneer Corps, Army Catering Corps and the Postal and Courier Section of the Royal Engineers.

 

The RLC Museum was established in Princess Royal Barracks at Deepcut in 1995, and moved to Worthy Down in 2021. After an extensive refit and redesign, the new RLC Museum now has over 50 display cases and has many more objects on display than before.

 

Exhibits include the Rolls-Royce that Field Marshal Montgomery was driven in when he landed in France shortly after D-Day, Napoleon's field bakery captured at the Battle of Waterloo, and a large collection of horse-drawn and motorised military logistics vehicles, bomb disposal vehicles, equipment and weapons. There is an extensive medal collection, which features several Victoria Crosses and medals won at the Battle of Waterloo.
