The Middlesex Regiment ( Duke of Cambridge's Own )
Bruce Castle | |
| In 1992 The Middlesex Regiment Museum was forced to leave its location in Bruce Castle by Harringey Borough Council which required the rooms for its own use. As a result the museum's artefacts, including three Victoria Crosses ( Edwards, Hallowes & McCready-Diarmid ), were transferred to the National Army Museum, London. The three other VCs were returned to the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment & Queen's Regiment RHQ. |
| The following Victoria Crosses were held by the Middlesex Regiment Museum prior to 1992. | |||
