"We can truly say that
the whole circuit of the earth is girdled with the graves of our dead . . .
and, in the course of my pilgrimage, I have many times asked myself whether
there can be more potent advocates of peace upon earth through the years to
come, than this massed multitude of silent witnesses to the desolation of
war."
King George V,
Flanders, 1922 |

international society whose principal aim is to encourage and foster the
study of military aspects of the Victorian era. The dates of study are 1837

the beginning of World War I. The Society publishes a quarterly journal, a
newsletter and holds an
annual
military fair. As well as
this the Society also encompasses the Anglo-Boer War Memorials Project and
several specialist study groups. Further details are given below and via the
links to the left, as well as details on how to join the Society. |

Most people have heard of Britain's involvement in military conflicts in
the later half of this century, such as the Falklands War and the Gulf
War. What the younger generation does not realize is that soldiers,
sailors, and airmen from Britain and the Commonwealth have been fighting
small wars to defend Britain's shrinking empire since the end of World
War Two.
From the
insect ridden jungles of Malaya to the frozen hills of Korea, in the
back streets of Aden and Cyprus, from the African bush of Kenya to the
rain soaked hills of the Falkland Islands, young National Servicemen and
regular British soldiers have been defending the British empire and her
allies for the last 57 years. This is their story.
This
site was started in January 1999 and the Webmasters are constantly
updating various chapters. If the campaign you served in is not listed
within this web site, please e-mail us and tell us about it. Please note
that NEGATIVE e-mails will be ignored. It is not our intention to ignore
any military conflict since 1945, it just takes time to gather all the
information and publish it. Please look to our SITREP section to see
what we're going to publish soon |

The National War
Museum of Scotland (formerly the Scottish United Services Museum) was
officially opened by Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal on 17 April 2000.
The Museum explores the Scottish experience of war and military service over
the last 400 years.
The lives of many thousands of Scots have been dominated by this experience
- the objects in the museum, and the individuals and events to which they
relate, make this very clear. The museum also reveals the extent to which
war and military service have influenced Scotland's history, its sense of
its own identity and its reputation abroad |

contains images of flags and standards of the Napoleonic period which have
been produced specifically for use with wargames figurines. I first started
creating these flags for use with my own 25mm figures. Then I found, and
later contributed to, the excellent Warflag site by Ian Croxall in the
United States. Ian's page has been an inspiration in the creation of this
site here in the UK. |
