Museum of Army Chaplaincy

Following today's link to 'Woodbine Willie' I think it would be a good idea to publicise the The Royal Army Chaplain's Department (RAChD) Museum at the Armed Force's Chaplaincy Centre (Amport House, Amport, Hants SP11 8BG).

This has to be one of the best smaller military museums that there is and the Curator, David Blake, works hard to collect and display a variety of artefacts and documents relating to the role of the Chaplain in an Army setting.

The Museum is open from 09:30 to 17:00 It is helpful to book before you come (but not apparently necessary - but bring ID if you are just rocking up) and you can do this on 01264 773144 extn 4248.

If you'd like to find out more about the VC Chaplain's (photo's below), get a feel for the place of the Christian faith in the Far Eastern conflics and more besides, this is the place to visit and better still, it's free.

Thank you for your interest and support in this area,
