​Woolwich a garrison town - the British military legacy that shaped the world!

Woolwich has been central to shaping Britain's military history, with the Royal Arsenal at its core, a history that dates back 500 years. For centuries, this historic garrison town was a hub for producing weapons, munitions, and technology that supported British forces in major conflicts, from the Napoleonic Wars to both World Wars. Its influence reaches far beyond the UK, with innovations that helped shape global military strategies and technologies. The U.S. and other nations learned from Woolwich’s advancements, incorporating British military practices, strategies, and technological innovations into their own training, weaponry, and logistics systems. Woolwich's lasting contribution to Britain's military power and its significant impact on the world stage make it a true cornerstone of military history
