From 1 August 2016
This new joint exhibition by BMMT and SOFO will depict the story of the auxiliary forces of the two counties from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries including the Militia, Yeomanry, Volunteers, Volunteer Training Corps, and Home Guard. It will focus on the military, social and political aspects of the auxiliaries including the role in home defence and in aid to the civil power, overseas service, and the controversies of the militia ballot. It will draw on uniforms, photographs and prints, and documents from the collections of both trusts.
