In a special display to mark the national Armed Forces Day in Scarborough on Saturday 25 June, discover military memorabilia including the funeral sword of Captain Sir Tom Moore, the Yorkshire-born British Army officer who became a national hero when he raised over £30m for NHS charities in the run-up to his 100th birthday during the pandemic.
Also on display will be medals awarded to two other Yorkshire heroes, Company Sergeant Major Robert S Birkenshaw of the 5th Battalion West Yorkshire Regiment and Company Sergeant Major Thomas Patrick Carney. You can also see two uniforms from the collection worn by Major Edward Parker Stapleton (1891-1971) of Seamer, Scarborough.
