Veteran Militaria Display

EXHIBITION - A display of military memorabilia. Recognising the life of people in our armed forces.

Veteran Militaria Display

Open daily throughout the festival from 10am - 4pm. Except for Wed 16.

The display includes a world war II map, bronze type sculptures, wartime tanks and air craft, medals and many other interesting items.

A unique piece of World War One history was discovered in Harleston, a three- foot square linen tablecloth, signed by many soldiers who stayed at the two Red Cross hospitals in the town between 1914-1918. They have written their names and service details in ink which can still be clearly seen; the tablecloth is like an international autograph book with signatures from many countries including England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Canada, Australia and France. The tablecloth is on display on the Council Offices, but there will be a replica in this display.
