What is the history behind the Museum?

One visiting Army Officer, Lieutenant General Bobby Mathews, suddenly flashed across his mind, thinking of the Jaisalmer War Museum as a befitting tribute to India's military past, wartime experiences, and lives lost in service of the Indian Army.

The war museum was built in Jaisalmer because the city has a long history of military service and has seen many essential fights. The museum was on a flat, empty land in the Jaisalmer Military Station. Lieutenant General Bobby Mathews oversaw the building of the building.

Lieutenant General Ashok Singh has a war museum in the country. He was in charge of Southern Command in 2015. The Jaisalmer War Museum is a great place to see and visit. It is the place where tourists get to know about the past of the soldiers who protect us. The place is worth visiting in Jaisalmer.
