Answer 4

Many of the Regiments have Regimental Museums;  REME has one, at Arborfield; you might like to visit.

My uncles were in the Gloucestershire Regiment and we thoroughly enjoyed the visit to the Museum in Gloucester Docks and looking through old documents which had details of men who had served and died.
