From the Collection: Regimental Museum of the Royal Welsh

By Tom Fournier

​There was some recent excitement over photos of a coat that I saw in the old Welch Regiment Museum in Cardiff from a trip back in 2006.

It is now in the holdings of the Regimental Museum of the Royal Welsh and the curator of the museum, Richard Davies was kind enough to pull out the coat and take some pictures.

This is the coat of a Grenadier Officer of the 41st Regiment circa 1822.  Unfortunately there is no record of who the coat belonged.

This first two photos are of the coat in a display case from my original visit.  The following pictures are those sent by Richard:
