Richmond's military museum, dedicated to the famous Green Howards regiment, has launched a special Victoria Cross Trail for its celebration of the 80th anniversary of D-Day. It's a perfect way for children up to the age of 11 to learn the history of the famous medal while having a little adventure. Running throughout half-term and D-Day (6 June) until 15 June, the trail asks children to look for replica Victoria Crosses in shop windows. Simple? Not entirely... Letters attached to some of the VCs spell out a very important Green Howards name – and the answer is hidden in the Museum’s D-Day Exhibition. Once they have found the medals and solved the mystery, there is a reward waiting for all young code crackers! Each child needs to be accompanied by an adult to access the museum and trail. The Museum's standard entry fees apply: £8 per adult; £5 for children aged 10+years. The Green Howards Museum is open Monday to Saturday, 10:00 – 16.30. More information here.
