Today is #MindenDay, the second Regimental Day of the year!

On 1 August 1759, at the Battle of Minden, the 37th Regiment of Foot obeyed the Duke of Brunswick’s order and advanced towards the French “with drums beating in proper time.” This turned out to be quite the mistake!

The Battle of Talavera took place in 1809. Arthur Wellesley commanded the Anglo-Spanish army against the French who had occupied Madrid. The French attacked from two sides, taking a hill that gained them a strategic advantage, before losing it to the British.

On #WorldChocolateDay here is a very relevant object from our collection. In 1900, to boost morale and wish them a happy new year, Queen Victoria sent tins containing Fry’s chocolate to troops serving in South Africa in the Boer War. Our tin still contains the chocolate!

When serving in Iraq, Cpl Caines was involved in a standoff after his colleagues in the Iraqi Army started getting anxious about food and water supplies. Caines challenged a gunman with his weapon lowered, and diffused the situation. He was awarded a George Medal for his actions.
