The Journal of the Society for Army Historical Research was founded in 1921 to foster "interest in the history and traditions of British and Commonwealth armies, and to encourage research in these fields." It is one of the oldest societies of its kind and past members include notable British Field Marshals Wavell and Auchinleck. The Society's interests embrace "both army and regimental history, military antiquities and pictures, uniforms, badges and medals, arms and equipment and the history of land warfare in general." These volumes include studies of campaigns, commanders and the political aspects of war from the sixteenth century to the "little wars" of the late 19th Century.Auction Info
