Military museums which should be established

[Melvin Loh]

Can anybody think of any military museums and memorials for particular battles or campaigns which should've been established ?

What about:
Kokoda Trail and Coral Sea campaign museums in north Qld
92nd BUFFALO Div and Tuskegee Airmen memorial museums in Italy- respectively somewhere in northern Italy (Lombardy or Tuscany) and near Ramitelli AFB
Italian campaign museum somewhere in Sicily or near Salerno or Anzio
BHD memorial/museum at Fort Bragg
USMC PTO museum on Hawaii or Okinawa + Navaho Codetalkers museum somewhere in Arizona or New Mexico
Henry Johnson memorial museum to WWI Buffalo Soldiers in Meuse-Argonne region
Rough Riders/Buffalo Soldiers memorial museum on San Juan Hill
AIF museum in Egypt to commemorate ANZACs of both world wars, and also other museums to honour British and Empire forces such as Gen Allenby's cavalry corps and Monty's 8th Army units
HMAS SYDNEY moored as floating museum off her namesake city instead of OTL being scrapped + other warships being similarly spared as memorials, such as HMS VANGUARD and some of the KING GEORGE V's, instead of being broken up and sold for scrap
memorial to JAYWICK/RIMAU raiding force in Singapore harbour, and to victims of Sandakan death march in Borneo and other Jap atrocities throughout the Pacific

Definitely agree with you about the Codetalkers museum.

Would Italy want such museums, though?
Japan would definetly not like some of those.
All this American stuff should be in America, British stuff throughout the Anglosphere, etc.

But U.S. history just didn't happen in America, just like British history just didn't happen in Britain and the former colonies.

Yeah, but you've still got the Imperial War Museum in London.

And colonizing the world with museums about American military exploits sends a message the US probably oughtn't be sending right now... perhaps international cooperative ventures would be better?

Given the over-provision of museums in the UK and, I believe, the USA, with many suffering financial problems and soem closing, it is unlikely there would be any logic in new ones.

Perhaps get existing ones with similar themes to open extensions or refurbish galleries to cover the topics instead might be a better idea.

What about a museum of Prussian Military History in Kaliningrad?

It's a pitty Goeben/Yavuz wasn't perserved. I can think of no single ship that acomplished more for her country, and when she was scrapped, she was the last of the capital ships from the Great War, and as such, a worthy museum for all nations involved in that war.
There was an attempt to save her, but sadly, it failed.

Nomonhan.

The Lines of Torres Vedras (restore at least one of the forts).

And the old Enterprise (the WWII one) should have become a museum ship.

I've been campaigning for the establishment of a Women's Auxilliary Balloon Corps museum here in Peterborough. Hasn't been going too well though :confused:
