Step into the shoes of a WWII soldier.
What did British troops eat on the frontlines? How did they stay clean under harsh conditions? Did you know Horlicks tablets and Cadbury chocolate were once part of their standard rations?
As part of Battlebox’s Victory over Japan commemorations, explore the daily life of a WWII soldier through authentic artefacts and faithful replicas from Alvin’s Bunker. Discover the rations they carried, the hygiene kits they used, and the inventive ways they coped in the field – all brought to life with gripping stories and real-world examples.
Discover how military rations and hygiene gear evolved across different armies and eras, offering a rare chance to connect with the past in a truly tangible way.
Alvin’s Bunker has been a WWII Japanese and British army living history group since 2002.
Suitable for the whole family. Recommended for ages 7 and above. Tickets include Basic Experience Admission to the Battlebox on the same day.
