Object Collection

rlc museum logo

The Royal Logistic Corps Museum cares for and displays objects covering over 200 years of our history, including those from our more recent Forming Corps:
Royal Corps of Transport, Royal Army Ordnance Corps, Royal Pioneer Corps, Army Catering Corps, Royal Engineers Postal and Courier Section.

Our collection includes uniforms, badges, medals, weapons and other equipment, as well as fine and decorative arts. We have a small collection of military vehicles, including the Rolls Royce Wraith staff car, used in Normandy during the Second World War by Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, horse-drawn logistics vehicles and motor lorries.

Our Object collection contains over 20,000 objects. A selection of these records are accessible through our free online database. We will be adding to this database over time. Click here for the online database.

Provenance – Where did the items come from and how did you come by them?

Uncharted - The Journey of a Military Chef is here!We’re beyond proud of RLC soldier Cpl Jaden Dunn, who has launched his very first cookbook to support two incredible causes, The Veteran Charity and The Burnt Chef ProjectThis isn’t just a cookbook – it’s a mission. A mission to help veterans facing hardship and distress, and to break the stigma around mental health in the culinary world, especially for our service chefs. With profits from Uncharted, we’re funding mental health support and building better networks for those transitioning out of military life. Let’s not forget: over 3,000 veterans are currently sleeping rough in London alone. This book represents hope, community, and action. Grab your copy today and be part of the change. Together, we can make a difference for our veterans and service chefs. To find out more information, DM us! ... See MoreSee Less
