Dear Fellow Society

The Victorian Military Society is an educational charity which promotes the study of military history – of all nations and races – in the period 1837 to 1914.  Its journal “Soldiers of the Queen” publishes work by both professional and amateur historians as well as articles by academic researchers.

Began in 1974 as a simple news letter, produced by the founding members on a few sheets of A4, we have since grown to an international group with a glossy quarterly magazine  of which the Society is justifiably proud.

We aim to bring previously unpublished or under researched material to the attention of a wider audience, together with making it available to present and future historians.

Over the years as well as publishing many articles on a wide number of subjects related to the period 1837 to 1914, the journal has also reflected some of the major anniversaries of the time, producing special editions of “Soldiers of the Queen” to commemorate General Gordon and the attempt to relieve Khartoum, the Boer War, the Sudan Campaigns and most recently the 150th anniversary of the “Indian Mutiny”.

Our web site www.victorianmilitarysociety.org.uk  has a number articles from our archives free to view which we feel could be of interest to your members.

We wish you every success in our joint task of making history alive, relevant and available to all.
