Regimental museum The D.L.I. Museum () (now closed) was the official museum of the Durham Light Infantry. It opened in 1966. Located in Durham, England, the museum featured displays about the regiment's history, with an emphasis on World War I and World War II activities. Exhibits included uniforms, weapons, medals, flags, hats, letters, photographs, badges, ceremonial regalia and other artefacts. The museum was located on the first two floors, with the Durham Art Gallery located on the third floor. In October 2015 Durham County Council announced the closure of the D.L.I. Museum as a cost saving exercise. This decision sparked the formation of a campaign to see the museum saved led by John Richardson. In June 2019 Durham County Council revealed plans to move the county archives from County Hall to a new history centre, which will also accommodate the Durham Light Infantry Collection, at Mount Oswald. D.L.I. Memorial In July 2012, the Durham Light Infantry Association Memorial was dedicated at the National Memorial Arboretum. The service was attended by Princess Alexandra, the regiment's former Colonel-in-Chief.
