"Thank you for the brief but kindly mention in Wargamer's Newsletter!! We do need a lot more members to make the Society and its Journal self-supporting. We have a close association with "Savage and Soldier" and some of our members are enthusiastic wargamers. The second issue of "Soldiers of the Queen" is 'in print' and does in fact include an article which should be of considerable interest to wargamers in general. I will see that you get a copy. Doubtless you will be well aware of the difficulties in making a break-through in any new venture, but we have established good relations with the National Army Museum and the respective staffs of "Soldier" and other magazines, and are gradually recruiting a number of well-known authors and historians in our ranks. The Society has a balanced membership of all age-groups, and is primarily interested in "people and places and events" rather than artefacts, although these have their place in the scheme of things." Wargamers interested in this period will undoubtedly obtain both value and interest from this Society. The Victorian Military Society is a non-commercial body, its aim is to foster interest in the military side of the Victorian period. This would include the armies of Great Britain and Her Empire, and also to a lesser extent the armies of other countries. The period of interest has been extended to include 1914. It is intended to publish a journal four times a year, which will contain articles of military interest, model, book and record reviews, wargames, militaria and news of society activities. It is planned to establish study groups within the society catering for specialist interest. A list of members, together with their addresses and sphere of interest, will be published annually. Periodically amendments will be published in the journal. Membership is worldwide, and it is hoped that museums, schools and military societies will become affiliated to the society. Subscription rates are: Full Membership ... £2.50p per annum. Juniors (16 and under) .. £1.50p per annum. Affiliated Membership ... £2.50p per annum. Overseas members, special rates apply. These will be advised individually on receipt of enquiries.
