The Tank Museum in Dorset is opening its new World War Two exhibition with a live, online tour – including a welcome from HRH The Duke of Kent on YouTube on Thursday, May 13, at 11am.
During the tour, museum curator David Willey and Richard Cutland, from sponsors World of Tanks, highlight compelling and moving stories and live interviews with veterans who actually used some of the 57 vehicles in the exhibition.
