Gillingham museum opens new research centre to help generate more interest into military archives

Those looking to learn more about Medway's military history will be pleased to know more archive material will be available thanks to the opening of a new research centre.

The Royal Engineers Museum in Gillingham is now home to the Pasley Research Centre - named after the first Commandant of the School, General Sir Charles William Pasley.

The museum is already home more than three hundred years of military history but now the largely unknown archive will also be open to visitors.
