YOUNGSTERS have been getting to know more about the history of their local Army regiment.
Around 100 students from Eastbourne School in Darlington, along with 17 young people from Amiens, France, visited the Green Howards Regimental Museum in Richmond.
As part of their history lesson the students toured the museum, which tells the history of the regiment from its formation in 1688 to the present day.
Everyone took part in a special quiz which took them to all areas of the museum, including the Harrison Medal Room, where 16 of the regiment's 18 Victoria Crosses are on display.
The students who answered all the quiz questions correctly, with help from curator Roger Chapman and assistant Paul Cooper, were given a special certificate making them official professors of Green Howards History.
