About Event:

Working in partnership with the Friends of the Museum, The Fusilier Museum Warwick is offering a special event day to learn more about family history research and how to uncover the stories connected to your family members who served in WW1 and WW2.

There will be a series of short presentations by experts showcasing the kinds of valuable information that can be found. There will be the chance to hear fascinating stories about local soldiers from the Warwick region. There will also be information about our newly revamped Friends of the Museum organisation including its social activities and special events.

Refreshments will be provided. If you require any mobility support to access this event, please contact general.manager@fusiliermuseumwarwick.com

The event is absolutely free, but we welcome donations to the museum charity to keep doing the work that we do.
