The Loyal Edmonton Regiment Military Museum is located in the Prince of Wales Armouries Heritage Centre, the building where the regiment was based from 1920 to 1965. Also in the building is the City of Edmonton Archives.
Doorway Display Cabinets
The display area of our museum
consists of two galleries
(Griesbach and Stone) plus seven
display cabinets outside the
galleries that have been placed
in what used to be doorways to
unit offices in the armoury.
The old office space now
makes up the gallery areas.
Griesbach Gallery
The Griesbach gallery is named
after Major General William
Griesbach, the first commanding
officer of the 49th Battalion, CEF,
which is perpetuated by
the Loyal Edmonton Regiment.
The gallery highlights the history
of the regiment. On display are
uniforms, weapons, equipment,
memorabilia, and more from
the First World War through
to the present.
Stone Gallery
The Stone gallery is named
after Colonel James Stone
who was a distinguished Second
World War commanding officer.
It houses our temporary displays,
which vary as new
themes are introduced, allowing
visitors to see new and different
artefacts from our collection.
Storage Area
Our museum has a large storage
facility for the artefacts, archival
materials, and library
materials not currently on
display in our galleries.
Our series of articles on Regimental Commanding Officers continues with Brigadier Robert Archibald Bradburn who was Commanding Officer from March 1954 to April of 1958.
