The Soldiers of Oxfordshire (SOFO) Museum
The new Soldiers of Oxfordshire museum in Woodstock is now open to the public and we very much look forward to welcoming members of the Royal Green Jackets regimental Association and those linked to the family of antecedent regiments. It is not a traditional military museum and does not rely of public funds of any sort. As well as housing the archives of the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry (43rd and 52nd) and the Queens Own Oxfordshire Hussars (the Oxfordshire Yeomanry) and displaying some of both regiments’ history, it aims to set out how war and conflict in the past has affected the county and people of Oxfordshire. There are some medals and uniforms as might be expected but the emphasis is more on various displays designed to engage all the family.
