Royal Guard Cuirassier's Helmet and Breastplate from the Spanish Empire dated to 1830 on display at the Army Museum in Toledo, Spain

Some companies of cuirassiers did not wear the cuirass as part of the parade uniform, and had an additional horse-tail on the back of the helmet. For such regiments the use of the cuirass on campaign was formally abolished in 1834.

Letter from Charles de Gaulle (1890-1970) to his children

Circa 1936

To be a great man is first to be an adventurer pushing ever further the boundaries of your own temerity, challenging the codes, and defying the traditions that make the impossible become unthinkable. [...] How not to mention Napoleon when speaking of these men with extraordinary destinies?

[...] My childhood was rocked by the legend of the Eagle, [...] before anything else, my father made me discover the tomb of the Emperor, at the foot of which I was told of his actions and exploits time and time again [...].

History only remembers the names of those who know how to violate their own destiny, this is what the Emperor and my father taught me, one by explaining it and the other by demonstrating it.

From one special visit, to another…

Last week we were lucky enough to have 'The Hoff' David Hasselhoff and Kiwi home-grown legend Rhys Darby visit the Museum… together! What a real treat! That'll be a day we won't forget soon. Were we smitten? 😍 Yes! Did we do a little dance after the photo? Absolutely! Did we put on a special David Hasselhoff music playlist in the cafe? Tempted, but no we restrained ourselves. Thanks for stopping by guys! We hope (really hope) to see you back for another visit in the future.

Did you know that Rhys Darby served in the NZ Army in the early 1990s first as a Regular Force Cadet (Williams Class) and then in the Royal New Zealand Corps of Signals?
