Brief description

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusiliers_Museum_of_Northumberland

"The Fusiliers Museum of Northumberland, formerly the Northumberland Fusiliers Museum, is a museum located within the Abbot's Tower of Alnwick Castle in Alnwick, Northumberland, England. The museum displays the history of the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers and its predecessor regiments from 1674 to current times.[2] It is an independent registered charity.[3] It also displays artifacts such as the nameplate from the steam locomotive "Private E Sykes VC" which commemorated the soldier who had been awarded the Victoria Cross while serving with the regiment.[4]

The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers was created in 1968 after the amalgamation of four Regiments. Thus the museum is part of a family of other Fusilier museums: the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers Museum (Royal Warwickshire) in Warwick, the Fusilier Museum (Lancashire) in Bury and the Fusiliers Museum (London) at the Tower of London.[5]"
