The collection consisted of a considerable number of French, German and American heavy equipment and machinery from the Second World War and a number of firearms used in the three conflicts. The collection was, however, patchy in terms of exhibits representing the conflict of 1870 and the First World War.
An active acquisition policy over the last ten years, combined with numerous gifts and donations, has made it possible to fill in the gaps and envisage portraying a complete chronology of events.
