New gallery opens at Manx Museum

A new gallery has been opened at the Manx Museum in Douglas ahead of the 100th anniversary of the Armistice.

'Mann At War' commemorates Manx men, women and children and their roles during conflict from present day back to the 1700s.

The museum's deputy chairman, Malcolm Kelly, is calling it one of the most important projects there of recent times.

Individual stories will be part of the exhibition - put into context of wider world events such as the First and Second World Wars, Gulf War and Afghanistan.
