What do we have hair? Sorry... What do we have HERE? Can you tell us what this object from our 10 Year Anniversary Showcase is in close-up? 🔎 We might have slipped with a little clue, but we think this is still a tricky one! We'll be back with an answer on Monday.

Did you work it out? Yea or neigh? 🐴 From a WW2 field surgical kit, this is a tube of sterile horsehair sutures. Our Bloody Battles & Dangerous Diseases display takes a close look at military medicine, development of equipment and techniques aiding survival at the front line

SOFO Museum Would love to see if any of dad's teammates are still with us. Any retweets appreciated. #LightInfrantry

More #ArtoftheGreatWar from the current exhibition! In this piece from artist Louis Icart, a French soldier kisses a woman wrapped in the tricolour, representing Liberty, before leaving to fight. She was modelled on Icart's wife. He also had to leave to serve in the French army.

It's the weekend, so time to take a close look at the collection! 🔎 What is this? If you've had any long journeys over the Summer hols, you probably made sure to pack some of these. Well, not exactly like these...
