This is a private collection? It's incredible! I wish it was an a larger area. There's so much to see crowded in such a small place!

Yes it's a private collection, sadly by invition only.
I must admit Bruce and his team i am kind of in awe of what they have done and what they are doing, History is history and lessons learnt are why we want to preserve. Bruce doesn`t do this to glorify War, it is also a showcase of recent History that is so relevent today. i have not served in the Military but have family buried in the Cemetery in Konchanaburi Thailand i have walked up and down those resting places, Heart breaking to see, but bumping into Japanese there kind of brings it into perspective. I live in Norwich not Far from Bruce`s "Casa" as he calls it, i hope i have the honor and pleasure of seeing and meeting him and his awesome team, and the magnificent collection there in the future, i must have watched every episode at least 30 times, awesome.

I would love to go back myself, but this one was a One off event for Military Veterans, but I am sure Bruce has probably considered opening it to the public. Maybe in the Future ?
