The Calgary Highlanders Museum has created one of five permanent galleries at The Military Museums in Calgary, Alberta across from the former site of Currie Barracks and Canadian Forces Base Calgary. The Museum also boasts an extensive archive of documents and artifacts pertaining to the history of The Calgary Highlanders. The gallery, open for public display whenever The Military Museums are operating, chronicles the evolution of the 103rd Regiment (Calgary Rifles), 10th Battalion and The Calgary Highlanders.

Life size dioramas depict the grim realities of war and are vivid reminders of the heroism of Canadian soldiers, their significant battles and achievements. Together with photographs, documents, medals, weapons and uniforms, the gallery unfolds the history of this proud regiment through two World Wars, as a source of volunteers for UN and NATO Missions throughout the world, as a training unit during times of peace, and in the War on Terror.

    We visited the entire Military Museums, especially to see the display about the First Survey Regiment which had been my father's regiment during World War Two. It was a very moving experience for my dad to see some of the artifacts, the names of comrades he lost during the war and the maps of the battles.
