The Royal Engineers Museum and Library tell the story of the Corps of Royal Engineers and military engineering. It is a story about the Sappers and their courage, creativity and innovation.
In peace and war the Corps has been everywhere and
involved in everything. The Museum galleries display
exquisite Chinese embroideries given to General Gordon,
maps, drawings, letters and airgraphs, paintings and
fine uniforms alongside Zulu shields from Rorke's Drift,
tanks, torpedoes, bridges and chemical weapons.
The Library founded in 1813 holds material as diverse
as 1860's photographs of Canada, classic military histories
and World War One unit war diaries.
This web site tells you all you need to know for a visit and
gives you an insight into nearly 1,000 years of British
history.
