A stunning display of regimental silver from the British Armys most battle honoured regiment will form the centrepiece of this winters fair. The Soldiers of Gloucester Museum will be bringing silverware, trophies, medals and flags from the Gloucestershire Regiment formed in 1694.

The Glorious Glosters were awarded the unique honour of wearing The Back Badge, a cap badge worn on both the front and back of their headdress for gallantry shown when fighting back to back at the Battle of Alexandria in 1801. The display will feature items from the last 320 years of the regiments history.

The fairs manager Dan Leyland said: We are very excited and honoured to be hosting this feature from such an illustrious and historic regiment. There is growing interest in all things militaria and this is particularly timely given that this is the centenary year of the First World War.
