History[]
The museum was established as "The Rifles Collection" in 2013 with the objective of preserving artifacts of importance in the history of The Rifles since it was formed in 2007.[1] It also organises a programme of regular military talks around the UK.[2][3] Now known as "The Rifles Museum", the museum is organised chronologically and it has a special display relating to the courage of soldiers, and the Victoria Cross in particular.[4] It forms one of the six military museums at Peninsular Barracks.[5]
