The museum holds the uniforms, medals and regalia of the regiment, known as the ‘Faughs' from their battle cry ‘Faugh-a-Ballagh' (Clear the Way). Exhibits tell the story of the Royal Irish Fusiliers (RIr Fus) from its formation in 1793 during the Napoleonic Wars, through the Crimean War, the Boer War, where the regiment relieved the besieged Ladysmith, to extensive service in the First and Second World Wars where the Fusiliers fought at the Somme, Dunkirk, north Africa and in Italy.
The regiment amalgamated with the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers and the Royal Ulster Rifles in 1968 to form the Royal Irish Rangers (RIr Rang).
