The Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry Museum in Bodmin, Cornwall started in 1925. Since then it has grown and now occupies the old Quarter Master's Stores on the first floor of The Keep. It is sectioned into two parts: the Main Historical Gallery and the Armoury. The Main Historical Gallery tells the history of the Regiment from its formation in 1702 to its amalgamation with the Somerset Light Infantry in 1950. The wars and campaigns are put into the perspective of the history of the United Kingdom by means of explanations, pictures, maps and artefacts. The Armoury displays one of the finest private collections of small arms and machine guns. Also on display are many of the colourful uniforms worn by the Regiment before 1914, together with a remarkable display of decorations and medals. The DCLI display is also expanding onto the 2nd Floor of the Keep and we will will also be housing the Historical display of The Light Infantry (1968 to 2007) from late April 2010.
