World Wars

This gallery looks at the armies of the British Empire and Commonwealth during the era of Total War'. The two global conflicts of the 20th century witnessed attempts to harness the entire economic resources of modern industrial societies for war. World War One (1914-1918) installations include infantry and cavalry soldiers from 1914, a machine gun team, trench periscope and reconstructed dug-out from 1917. World War Two (1939-1945) displays include a six-pounder anti-tank gun, a soldier of the 12th Nigerian Regiment manning a Vickers gun in Burma and a Universal Carrier being driven by a Sikh soldier. Both periods are brought to life with interactive audio-visual displays and archive footage.
