The elves found a 1963 pic of the 6th Bn, Welch Reg learning casualty extraction techniques. Armed with the ultimate elf construction material (candy canes, obviously), Jingle & Jangle have built their own stretcher & are taking part in festive disaster training. #RWElves

The elves decided their pet goat wasn’t smelling as festive-fresh as he should… so they gave him a bath! Apparently, it’s a routine the regimental goat knows all too well and little Taffy handled it like a champ. He’s now looking fresh as a daisy and parade-ready!

It looks like the elves have been sneaking around the archives again! They've found this 1914 pic of some of the 6th Bn, Welsh Reg squeezed into one car! And of course, if history can do it, the elves can do it better! They’ve rounded up some extra help to recreate this iconic moment! #RWElves

Oh no… they’ve done it again! Our mischievous twosome have snuck into the Officers’ Mess and decked out the Mess Bear in full festive tinsel! Jingle and Jangle are very proud of their sparkling handiwork… but we’re not so sure the officers will share their enthusiasm!

Jingle & Jangle have spent the day diving into our old sporting pics & they’re feeling very inspired! They’ve decided to try a bit of rugby training. With a few helpful friends, they’re practicing line-out lifting and we think they're doing a good job!

The elves are supposed to be helping us clear up after the last school group visited but they keep getting distracted by the 1940s toys. Turns out mischievous elves can’t resist a bit of vintage fun! What was your favourite childhood game? #RWElves

Jingle and Jangle have been getting very creative today! ️Using the museum craft activity box, they’ve made their own mini medals — clearly inspired by our enormous medal collection! Not quite sure what the awards are for (or whether they’re deserved), but it’s a top effort, boys! #RWElves #medals

Is nothing safe from these two? Today, Jingle and Jangle have taken it upon themselves to give our armoury a full Christmas makeover — and yes, they’ve wrapped up the weapons on display! #RWElves #ElfonTheShelf #Christmas #ChristmasMagic #RoyalWelshElves #Museum #History #HistoryLovers

There’s been some serious Christmas magic in the museum today – Jingle & Jangle have shrunk themselves into one of our Zulu War dioramas! The pair are getting a unique insight into what some soldiers faced more than 145 years ago in this scene created by the Zulu War historian Ian Knight! #RWElves

Jingle & Jangle have made a start on our January project… auditing the collection! Do they know what they’re doing? Probably not. But that’s okay — we’ve planned ahead! The museum will be closed from December 19th, 2025 to January 19th, 2026 so we can carry out our audit properly. #RWElves

Jingle and Jangle are clearly taking their camouflage training very seriously! It took us ages to spot them hiding in one of our modern-day exhibits — and those ghillie suits? Absolute pros! Can you spot them? Nice work, boys… we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled from now on!

Look what the elves got up to last night! Our cheeky duo have plastered their faces all over our historic photographs! From the Crimea to Africa, India to Korea — Jingle and Jangle have really travelled through time. Now it’s time for us to start the great elf clean-up… wish us luck! #RWElves

Jingle and Jangle have uncovered our dressing-up box — and they’re having the time of their lives! So many uniforms to try on… but we might need to find something a little closer to elf-sized! Who knows what look they’ll try next? Stay tuned for more festive foolishness! #RWElves #ElfonTheShelf

The museum elves have been sneaking around the archives again… and look what they’ve discovered! An absolutely wild World War One period photo that no one can explain. Naturally, Jingle and Jangle took one look and said, “Yep, we’re recreating THAT.” Check out their festive reenactment! #RWElves

Jingle and Jangle have discovered the miniature cannons in the garden — brought back from Ireland in 1921 by the 1st Bn, SWB. But lads… this is the army, not the circus! Look out! These tiny cannons aren’t just for show... #RWElves #ElfonTheShelf #Christmas #ChristmasMagic #RoyalWelshElves #Museum

The Elves are on the hunt for some milk to go with their cookies, but they're not going to find a drop in our Zulu milk pail! This one was found at King Cetshwayo’s Kraal by Sgt Major W Hogan, 2nd Battalion 24th Foot, March 3rd, 1881 #RWElves #elfontheshelf

Hey Jingle & Jangle! Everybody loves a sweet treat at Christmas time, but you cannot eat those cakes! 110 years past their use-by date, they are also very rare! Shaped like chrysanthemum flowers, they were given to soldiers of the SWB by the Emperor of Japan in 1914 #RWElves #elfontheshelf #ww1

Inspired by this fantastic artefact – a cornet which once belonged to Lt Coghill VC - Jingle & Jangle are holding their own carol concert, on their own elf-sized instruments! Coghill, who served with the 24th foot, was KIA at Isandlwana on Jan 22, 1879 #RWElves #elfontheshelf #anglozuluwar

Oh dear, yesterday’s room check didn’t go too well and are having to do some emergency housework & laundry. Jingle & Jangle have discovered our 1930s child’s mangle & are now making light work of cleaning their grubby pjs! Santa will be proud of them...even if Tinsel isn’t! #RWElves #elfontheshelf
