The Museum of The Royal Welsh is threatened with closure as plans to ax funding are announced for 15 museums. The museum, based in Brecon, is home to many artifacts from the Heroic Defence of Rorke's Drift in 1879, and countless items of great historic value from the history of The Royal Welsh Regiment. Once this Museum is unable to operate with the possible cuts imposed by the MOD the history of The 24th of foot Regiments, The South Wales Borders, and Royal Welsh will be lost. This will impact not only the Museum and its visitors, but also the Military Historic Town of BRECON itself.

The current level of engagement has prompted a formal request for a meeting with local government officials to discuss the funding cuts. We have finalized a draft of the official letter to the Ministry of Defence that outlines the historical significance of the collection and the risks of closure.

Keep the Museum Open so todays and tomorrows children will know what happen in South Africa back in 1879
Superb Museum - Love visiting this place of such important Forces History & tipping my hat to my brave Forefathers !!
Save this museum!!. It’s a massive part of Welsh History. We won’t have anything left if things keep closing bit by bit until just memories until people forget. Let’s not forget.I am sure people would volunteer to keep this open. , The Searchlight Tatoo should never have been stopped.
Love the museum - means so much visiting here
Hell Yeah
Please keep our history alive and leave our museums alone
Keep the Museum Open we can not keep letting all of our heritage and history disappear.

I don't want to see the Royal Regiment of Wales Museum closed for good. I'd like to see the museum fully operational to pay tribute to the past and present members and soldiers who made the museum and living memory
