Alongside the event, the museum has welcomed the remembrance plaque to Lance Corporal Coughlan and Private Swanick, (the two 1 DERR soldiers who lost their lives on the 28th October), to our memorial garden. The plaque, previously outside the rebuilt Sandes House in Northern Ireland, will now be permanently here at The Wardrobe.
