Katara Cultural Village opened ‘Homeland Guardians’, a police and military memorabilia, with the attendance of media professionals, amateurs and other audience.
The exhibition is the first of its kind expo, where Qatar’s Ali Al Bohaqab and Kuwait’s Mohamed Al Obaidly display a collection of rare, vintage and historic collected items dating back to 1948. It will remain open till January 6, 2018.
Besides, rare photographs of the police, army, military uniforms, body armour, belts, badges, medals and other gifts that were given to the military servers, the old Qatar and Kuwaiti Emiri flags has been put up. The first burgundy Qatari flag is of 1932 while the Kuwaiti Emiri flag is of 1956.
The exhibition evokes a great sense of pride and history and relates to various events, said General Manager of Cultural Village Foundation Dr Khalid bin Ibrahim Al Sulaiti.
“During those days, both army and police had the same uniform and it is very interesting to see and note the details. It gives you a very detailed historical data about what was being used at that time and who the commanders of Qatar were then. There is a document on display about the military ammunition which he got from Pakistan. It’s a very special and rare,” he said.
