Make sure you're as prepared as these riflemen and stay dry today! If you're in Winchester and in need of an indoor activity to keep you dry and sheltered for a few hours, we're open as usual.

We're always thrilled to see what people bring to the Museum during the course of researching a relative! This menu card is from the 1935 KRRC 10th Bn. reunion dinner, which a visitor brought with them while doing some research, and kindly allowed us to photograph.

The eyewitness and secondhand accounts focus on Plunket's bravery in moving forward rather than the distance of the shots. It was nevertheless an impressive display of marksmanship that exemplified the skills of the 95th Rifles and the advantages of the Baker Rifle.
