Football & War - How the 'Beautiful Game' Played Out in the Army

26 Jul 2025 - 29 Nov 2025
£ Incl. in admission

This exhibition will explore the different roles football has played in soldiers’ lives:  the stories of the professional footballers who joined the regiment, the place football played both on the frontline and in the training of reserve soldiers, football competitions and trophies won and the stories around football on the Homefront including its role in the rehabilitation of injured soldiers returned from combat zones and in the rise of the women ammunition factory worker teams.

This exhibition is designed for those fascinated by social history, the history of football, and life in the army and in particular the Royal Warwickshire Regiment.
