Soldiers of Gloucestershire Museum, Military museum in Historic Docks, United Kingdom
The Soldiers of Gloucestershire Museum occupies the former Custom House building, presenting collections of military artifacts, uniforms, medals, and personal memorabilia spanning three centuries.
The museum collection originated in Bristol's Victoria Dock in 1926 before relocating to its current location in 1980, where the Duke of Gloucester conducted the official opening.
The exhibitions include personal accounts from veterans, regimental histories, and collections that document the experiences of Gloucestershire soldiers across multiple global conflicts.
The museum requires online pre-booking with admission prices of £5.00 for adults, £3.00 for children, and £12.00 for families, while offering accessibility features for disabled visitors.
The museum maintains a free online Soldier Search database that enables visitors to research specific military personnel and submit inquiries about their service history.
