Duke of Kent visits The Tank Museum

The Tank Museum welcomed HRH The Duke of Kent as he opened a new Royal Armoured Corps memorial and unveiled a plaque to commemorate the Museum’s Centenary. The new Memorial Room commemorates the sacrifice of almost 13,000 Royal Armoured Corps soldiers who have died in service since the Corps was founded in 1939.

In a speech at the event, The Duke of Kent said:

“Today we commemorate the opening of the newly revitalised and re-invigorated Memorial Room, a place for reflection and remembrance of the sacrifice made by so many over the years.

“As we formally dedicate this new Royal Armoured Corps Memorial, I am confident it will help us all to continue our shared duty to never forget the sacrifices of these men. We will remember them.” www.tankmuseum.org
