Our Mission as The Rifleman's Museum
The Rifleman’s Museum chronicles the rich history of the British Army’s Rifle Regiments, tracing their origins from the 18th century to the present-day regiment, The Rifles. It explores the revolutionary approach of these elite soldiers, highlighting their unique customs, traditions, and the innovative tactics that set them apart from other regiments.
Through carefully curated exhibits and detailed narratives, the Museum aims to illustrate the evolution of the Rifle Regiments and their lasting influence on the modern army. It celebrates the defining qualities of riflemen—adaptability, innovation, and an enduring spirit—while showcasing the profound legacy they’ve built over centuries of service.
Our Mission as a Military Museum
There are many military and regimental museums across the country, and we believe that they have an important role to play. Our mission as a military museum focuses on five key principles: preservation, education, commemoration, research, and community.
