For those of you that have visited the museum are aware, we rely heavily on grants and the generous donations of our supporters, and are trying to do as much as possible with our limited Ministry of Defence funding to tell the story of The Rifles, which is why we are appealing to you to support us.

We are hoping to raise the funds to purchase a medal set, to secure a piece of The Rifles Heritage, to protect it and display it in the museum for future generations to come and see.

We have set up a JustGiving page that we urge you to visit. Our ‘Acquisitions Fund’, although inspired by the sale of this medal set, is not solely about purchasing this object. As the Regimental museum of The Rifles, we want to put in place a way of being able to raise funds so that, if this was to happen again, we could save the object relating to The Rifles!

The Rifles Collection wants to take this opportunity to appeal to Riflemen and those with objects relating strongly to the Regiment to come to the museum to discuss parting with these objects. We do not want you to feel that private sellers are your only option for disposal. The museum, which adheres to best practice, would be able to safeguard and share these regimentally significant objects with future generations, and use them to tell the story of The Rifles.
