The largest issue was in 1869, when 26 suits and270 swords and staff weapons were issued. From the number ofsuits lent it is probable that some were of historical value. It is tothese loans that we must trace the damage caused to many uniquepieces. The Council Chamber, or upper floor, of the White Tower seems to have been used as part of theRecord Office. There is no definite evidence of this, but the skyHghts were put in in 1811 byMr. Lysons, Keeper of the Records. 2 The remaining local Militia colours were issued in 1914.
