Another book reassigned to Rare Books @RUSI_org Library, The Diary of Thomas Burton, 1828, published by Henry Colburn (honorary member of the United Service Museum as RUSI was first known).
So happy that our exhibition Lawrence in Fragments is up at last!
If you want to see loads of Lawrence treasures including our 1926 bust of TEL by war artist Eric Kennington, drop in to College on any Wednesday afternoon until 13th December!

Two rare and significant books on Nelson are being added to the @RUSI_Library's shelves. This is a valuable addition to our collection, as these books are not common in the country.

Great to see the books returning to the shelves in the @RUSI_Library at our home at 61 Whitehall, including the rare 1802 edition of "Life of William Pitt."
I am excited to announce our new exhibition "Lawrence in Fragments" opens tomorrow in Magdalen College's Old Library from 2:00pm-4:30pm, and will be running until December!
I look forward to seeing you there!
