The
Army Ordnance Corps Museum draws its genesis from a small private
collection of Armament by Lord Warren Hastings, then Governer of
Bengal Residency of British India
The
private collection was converted into an Ordnance Museum in 1926
at Fort William, Kolkata.
in
1951, Maj Gen WT Wilson moved the museum to AOC School (now CMM
Jabalpur). The museum has a collection of a large variety of weapons
dating back to 1700 AD.
The
history of development of the weapons ranging from the Samurai Swords
and Muskets of 1700 AD to the automatic firearms of the present
day are exhibited.
Besides, the Archives section houses old priceless relics and documents
of the past era which make a very interesting and informative reading.
