Discover the DLI Collection

Durham University works in partnership with Durham County Council to tell the story of the Durham Light Infantry Regiment. With the help of the DLI Association, DLI Friends and volunteers, we enable people far and wide to engage with objects and stories from the collection by visiting the DLI Gallery and the Courage, Comrades and Community exhibition.
