This loan box contains objects from the Manchester Regiment collection that encourage reflection and discussion around the First World War and remembrance.

What's in the box

  • Artefacts relating to the teaching of ‘Remembrance’
  • Modern uniform
  • Veterans’ badge
  • Poppy wreath
  • Union flag
  • Replica grave marker
  • Books showing how disability has been portrayed in the past and today

  • Embroidered postcards from the First World War (1914-1918)
  • Music and activities relating to the topic

‍

Please note: All ‘Museum In A Box’ loan boxes need to be collected from and returned to Portland Basin Museum. As these loan boxes are part of our handling collection, from time to time we may need to remove or replace some objects.
