YOUNGSTERS have been getting to know more of the history of their local Army regiment.
About 100 students from Eastbourne School, in Darlington, along with 17 students from France, visited the Green Howards Regimental Museum, in Richmond.
As part of their history lesson, they toured the museum, which tells the story of the regiment from its formation in 1688 to the present day.
They each took part in a quiz which took them around the museum, including the Harrison Medal Room, where 16 of the regiment's 18 Victoria Crosses are on display.
The students who answered all the quiz questions correctly - with the help of curator Roger Chapman and assistant Paul Cooper, were given certificates making them professors of the Green Howards' history.
The quiz is also available to children who visit with parents, grandparents or friends.
Those who visit during the Easter weekend and complete the quiz correctly will also be given an Easter egg.
