A STUDENT will be well-versed on the history of a regiment from the region when he completes a six-week attachment.
Anthony Perkins, 20, from Darlington, has joined the Green Howards Regimental Museum, in Richmond, North Yorkshire, where he will help visitors with inquiries and carry out administration tasks behind the scenes.
The Manchester University student has also been given a project to log the museum's weapons collection and record the information on computer database.
"It's fascinating work," said the former Hummersknott School and Darlington Sixth Form College pupil.
"I've learned a great deal and it has given me an insight into the reality of museum work, which I am considering as a career when I have finished my studies."
Curator Major Roger Chapman, said: "We were very pleased when Anthony asked to spend time with us. He is an excellent member of the team and is undertaking valuable work that it is difficult for the regular staff to find the time to carry out.
"We shall miss him after his time with us is over."
