The Militaria Showcase: A Bring | Show | Tell event at The Green Howards Museum invites the people of Yorkshire and the North East to add a little more colour to their own mystery militaria objects.

Whether it’s a uniform button, dog tag, a letter, or a regimental cap badge, Angus Ashworth and the experts from the York Army Museum will be ready to give some insight into that special or unusual historical piece of family history.

The museum’s vast collection of 35,000 objects, including the rather dazzling display of 4,500 medals in The Harrison Room, is testament to thousands of individual, personal stories of valour and sacrifice in times of conflict – and it’s the personal stories behind objects that are the focus of the Militaria Showcase event.

Now they want to hear the stories behind your objects!

Auctioneer Angus Ashworth will be there and ready to take a closer look at your items, as well as experts from the York Army Museum, home to the Yorkshire Regiment, and The Green Howards Museum's Specialist Regimental Researcher, Steve Erskine.

This event is FREE and there are no time slots.

Attendees will be asked to fill out a form on arrival with your details and some information about your object so that we can direct you to the right expert.

Naturally, as a family-friendly event, the museum is asking that no weapons be brought into the building but the experts will no doubt have their hands full with plenty of enigmatic and obscure curiosities!
