National Army Museum – London

Public Services enjoyed a trip to the National Army Museum in London, exploring the history of the British Army.

Students spent time in the Soldier gallery learning what it’s like to serve as a soldier, from joining up and training to daily life and returning home.

They looked at the demands of transitioning into the Army, life on campaign, the physical and psychological impact of combat, and the lasting friendships born out of shared service.

It was interesting to learn how the human experience of soldiering has remained remarkably unchanged across more than 350 years of Army history.
