Find the D-Day Ducks in the RLC Museum this summer holiday

To commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day and celebrate the opening of our new DUKW House, we are launching our D-Day Ducks trail this summer 🦆.

The Archives of the RLC Museum – relaunched online

The Royal Logistic Corps Museum in Worthy Down, Winchester, is launching an updated digital archive website to make the history of the Corps accessible online and to replace the older, previous website.

The RLC Museum Online Archive allows professional and public researchers to purchase and view records including regimental journals, enlistment books, vehicle records and photographs.

The Royal Logistic Corps was founded in 1993 and builds on a long tradition of military logistics, dating back to 1794. The online archive encompasses records from the Royal Logistic Corps and its predecessors, the Royal Army Service Corps, the Royal Corps of Transport, the Royal Army Ordnance Corps, the Royal Pioneer Corps, the Army Catering Corps, the Postal and Courier Service of the Royal Engineers.

The new archive website has been created by Townsweb Archiving and is available to search online here.

Maternity in the Military – due 2024

Later this year, a new exhibition exploring the changing face of maternity in the military launches at the The RLC Museum and we need your help. The Museum is seeking stories and objects from members of the Corps to bring to life the exhibition.

Prior to 1990 pregnant servicewomen wishing to have their child had to leave the forces, and many women made difficult choices between career and children. Following the introduction of maternity leave for servicewomen, the army has developed its maternity, shared parental and adoption leave polices, and redesigned its maternity wear several times.

The new exhibition, opening later this year, will tell the stories of the servicewomen who had to choose between parenthood and their profession, the development of army maternity packages and the experiences of army parents to the present day.

The Museum wants to hear from you! Can you share your experience as a servicewoman making decisions involving family and work? Your experience as a pregnant servicewoman? Your experience as a new mother from a military background? Or your experience as a military parent (of any gender) and early parenthood?

Loans or donation of objects for the exhibition, including (but not limited to) maternity uniform, documents, photographs and letters are also gratefully received, and any cap badge is welcome.

If you have anything that may be of interest please email us at information@rlcmuseum.com or complete our online form before June 9th.

The RLC Aquatics open water swimming team made history! Led by WO1 Shawn Bailey MBE, the incredible team completed a two-way swim across the English Channel, from England to France and back again, with a total swim time of 22 hours and 16 minutes. This phenomenal achievement marks them as the first ever mixed military relay team to conquer this feat, and the first in RLC history to do so. Since 1875, only 48 other teams have achieved this, and they are the only military team this century to join them.Through relentless training, unshakable determination, and exceptional skill, they also raised £7885 for military charities during our journey. Huge congrats to the team: WO1 Shawn Bailey MBE, Maj Clive Allford, Maj John Howell, Maj Paul Vidler, Capt Lucy Powell, Cpl Kelly May and Cpl Emma Meechan #WeAreTheRLC #youbelonghere #wesustain ...
