The Artists Rifles

Tuesday 18 October 2022

Doors open at 7:15pm, talk starts at 7:30pm

In person: £10, includes refreshments

Online: £5

Join Patrick Baty, who served in the Artists Rifles for ten years and is the regimental archivist, and discover the story of what was perhaps the most curious regiment in the British Army. Its members included William Morris, Frederic Leighton and even the poet Algernon Swinburne. It was natural choice for young men of an artistic persuasion in 1914 and after WWII the regiment took an unusual transformation, where many of its early traditions were maintained, in spite of very different times.

Please note – this talk is NOT being held at the Museum.
