Comment
This museum is located in Alnwick Castle, Northumberland, United Kingdom, and tells the history of the Northumberland Fusiliers regiment. The museum's logo of St George slaying the dragon is based on a silver centrepiece ornament adorning the dinner table on regimental occasions, such as St George's Day Dinner on 23 April. St George has been the regiment's patron saint since the late 17th century.This is their website: https://www.northumberlandfusiliers.org.uk/
