Cumbria’s Museum of Military Life

Cumbria’s Museum of Military Life is celebrating its 90th birthday this year with events and activities.

The museum, in Carlisle Castle, opened in the keep in 1932 and is currently housed in Alma Block, the old regimental institute.

It will celebrate in the 90 days up to the anniversary on December 7 with events including an afternoon tea for veterans, talk, quiz, an open day and tours.

People will also have the chance to sponsor an object at the museum to help it raise funds to continue to preserve Cumbria’s military heritage for future generations.

Jules Wooding, museum manager, will explore the evolution of the museum in a talk on September 13.

Jules said: “Our 90th birthday is an opportunity to highlight our wonderful collections and the stories behind them. When the museum collection was being pulled together in the late 1920s, it contained many items brought back from the First World War.

“Now our collections reflect the wider history of our local infantry regiment. From Culloden to the Crimea, Arnhem to Afghanistan the collections tell the story of soldiers past and present – ordinary people doing extraordinary things.”
