Museum Curator Rachel Silverson explains that she wanted the exhibition to provide visitors with personal, individual stories, “A Soldier’s Story is about the people rather than the regiments they were in, it’s the individual stories that makes them more interesting and gives you a feel for the characters of our Welsh soldiers.”
