From Masonic Regalia to WW1 Recruitment Posters, these objects hold a significant place in our collective memory. Imagine stepping into a time machine and finding yourself amidst soldiers dressed in their finest uniforms adorned with intricate Masonic Regalia.

It served as both a call to duty and a symbol of national unity. "Your Arms Uniform and they can Ready, " echoes through the air as soldiers stand tall, ready for action. Their equipment meticulously arranged, reflecting their dedication and commitment to serve their country. Traveling further back in time, we encounter an illustration from Le Costume Ancien et Moderne showcasing Chinese military equipment.
