War museum

I was searching the web looking for the ribbon for my General Service Medal when the Lion and Tusk came up. I had heard of the museum from a friend now living in New Zealand and wished I had visited it when I was there on holiday. A very neat website, but most of all, the response and service I receive from the quartermaster was excellent. My GSM complete with ribbon now joins my collection of beret badges!

Incredible exhibition. Loved the trenches tour. This should be kept for the long term. Such a multi sensory experience.

I needed an embroidered wire badge to wear on my blazer pocket for attending military events here in the USA as I wanted to represent my former army unit, the Rhodesian Light Infantry (RLI). I ordered one from the Rhodesian Services Association and the ordering, payment, and shipping from the other side of the world went without any problems, and I received the badge within a few weeks of the order. Like others that have provided feedback, I was absolutely delighted to find that the badge was of an exceptionally high quality and color, which is a breath of fresh air in this day and age! I hope one day to visit the museum and personally thank Hugh and all involved with the Lion and Tusk :) Thanks again.

I appreciate the time spent with Hugh and Tony. They provided very precious information on Rhodesian politics and history. The museum has got a variety of valuable exhibits that would spot some light on the conflict in Rhodesia. They also sell some goodies that would substantially help with museum's expenses.

What can I say.. absolutely moving experience. We did the 2 guided tours and our guide was knowledgable and funny, but respectful and taught us a lot. We spent 3 hours here but could easily have spent longer.

What a wonderful team of people. The generosity, dedication and love they have not only for the history of Rhodesia but for her people spread far and wide... Massive shout out to Glen Bomford and his book A Calabash of Poetry & Writing" which is greatly treasured and to the Hugh Bomfords team who packaged and posted the copy to me.I cannot wait to visit the amazing Museum and the dedicated and patriotic people who take care of it."

Excellent exhibition! The interactive trench tour, well executed and really took you into the experience that it must have been. Great photos descriptions through out. Highly recommend. Phone up before you get there to book the tour and trench experience.

A MUST see if you are in Wellington. Well worth the trip book in advance so you don't miss out.

MUST DO! Amazing exhibition, won’t be there for long, we pre-booked a guided tour (45 mins) then the trench experience straight after, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and did a great job of painting a picture, loved the photos, and detail on the displays, we went down to go to a beer festival, and did this on the side... and this was the highlight of our trip to Wellington. Recommend the kids bags at just $5, full of activities and goodies. Very good value for money.

Powerful, graphic and detailed. Amazing! Unlike anything I have ever seen, in the U.S., or anywhere. Honors the memory of those who served, and those who fell. I came away both shocked at the horror of war, and with better understanding of what it was like to be there. Very disappointing that this will be closing down. Everybody should see it at least once!
