Lonely Planet review

Exhibits concentrate on individual stories of courage, determination and heartbreak rather than broad historical narratives, and include unusual items such as a varnished set of elephant's toenails and the story of Bob the Dog, regimental mascot of the 1st Battalion Scots Fusilier Guards, who chased cannonballs at the Battle of Inkerman and was awarded his own medal.
