London 2013 - Part 4 - Chelsea - The National Army Museum

[debris4spike]

Once I had wandered around the area I went into the National Army Museum.   In some ways it seemed quite small ... but I loved how it was laid out, and had lots of statues that told the story of the last few hundred years of warfare .... Here are a few of the best .....


A model of the memorial at Kohima and which is now quoted at all Rememberance Services.


Jungle warfare




Capturing a French Eagle ... specially for the Sharpe fans


This is the actual skeleton of Napoleon's favourite horse, who was in his 30's when he died.
