The Loyal Edmonton Regiment Military Museum Dedicated to preserving the military heritage of the Loyal Edmonton Regiment and other central and northern Alberta military units.

The Loyal Edmonton Regiment Military Museum is dedicated to preserving the military heritage of the Loyal Edmonton Regiment and other central and northern Alberta military units. Since 1997, we have been located at the Prince of Wales Armouries Heritage Centre, the building where the regiment was based from 1920 to 1965. The museum features two galleries and a series of open area displays tracing the history of the regiment and military history of Canada. Artefacts on display include uniforms and military equipment, memorabilia, weapons and ceremonial artefacts from the First World War to the present. The museum also stores a vast collection of books, photographic, archival, documentary artefacts dating from the late nineteenth century onwards. The museum is operated by The Loyal Edmonton Regiment Museum Foundation, a non-profit foundation. Day-to-day operations are carried out by a small staff and a group of volunteers who work in classifying, cataloguing, and storing the artefacts, or in other tasks related to displays and records. Additionally, the museum office is the home of The Fortyniner, the annual journal of The Loyal Edmonton Regiment Association.

📯The Mons Bugle has been carefully packed for transport!

The important artefact has been removed from it's case by our Archivist and Collections Manager. It will be played and displayed on stage by internationally acclaimed trumpeter Jens Lindemann tomorrow evening at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity .

Used on 11th November 1918 at Mons, Belgium, the bugle signalled the end of fighting for Canada in the First World War.

When the bugle returns to the museum, it will be on display once again. You can visit Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

📯The Mons Bugle is on the move!

This week, the Mons Bugle will travel from the museum to the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, to be played and displayed on stage by internationally acclaimed trumpeter Jens Lindemann on October 10.

Used on 11th November 1918 at Mons, Belgium, the bugle signalled the end of fighting for Canada in the First World War.

"The mists of history have obscured the identity of the ceasefire bugler, but his bugle survives to this day, a treasured artifact in the museum of the Loyal Edmonton Regiment, which perpetuates the memory of the 49th Battalion." (Sharon Adams, Legion Magazine, November 2, 2018).
