Soldiers of the Queen (SOTQ): Issue 169

The latest copy of SOTQ (Soldiers of the Queen, the quarterly journal of the Victorian Military Society) was delivered whilst on Saturday, and I finished reading it last night.


The articles included in this issue are:
  • Burnaby's Deadly Weapon: A recent addition to the Household Cavalry Museum's collection by Christopher Joll
  • Guards Mounted Infantry in South Africa, 1901-02 by Dr Andrew Windrow
  • VMS Seminar: Invasions Scares and the 'Battle of Dorking'
  • Diehards commemorate Zulu War Hero
  • Alexis Soyer visits the British Military Cemetery at Haidar Pasha by Dr Mike Hinton
  • British Army General and Generalship, 1837-1902: A review of recent literature by Dr Harold E Raugh, Jr.
  • Book Reviews
  • About the VMS
Yet another issue that was full of interesting articles. As Frederick Burnaby is a particular hero of mine, the first article in this issue was of great interest to me, and the advertisement for the forthcoming seminar reminded me that I really ought to consider booking a place.

    An interesting list of articles- could you expand on what Dr. Andrew Windrow's article covers please? It may overlap with some academic research I'm doing atm.

    Cheers,

    Pete.

      Pete.,

      The article specifically looks at the formation and history of the Guards Mounted Infantry and the contemporary doctrine of non-cavalry mounted troops.

      All the best,

      Bob

      Thanks for that Bob. Do you know if the society sells individual copies of the journal?

      Cheers,

      Pete.

      Pete.,

      I'm not sure if they do. If you follow the link in my blog entry, it will take you to the VMS website.

      All the best,

      Bob

    Sadly no. They seem to offer a small selection of back issues but stopping in 2011.

    After a quick bit of googling Dr. Winrow's PHD thesis is available online btw.

    Cheers,

    Pete.

      Pete.,

      That is a pity ... and a lost opportunity for the VMS to 'spread the word' and to generate some income.

      All the best,

      Bob

    Very much so. If it is not too much trouble Bob, would a scan of the article be possible?

    MTIA.

    Cheers,

    Pete.

      Pete.,

      As you want to use the copy of the article for non-commercial academic research, I can certainly do as you ask. All I ask is that you give due acknowledgement to the author and the VMS.

      All the best,

      Bob

      Pete.,

      That would be very helpful. Contact me at bobthetemplebuilder @ gmail.com (but leave out the gaps!), and Ill send the scan back to you as soon as I can.

      All the best,

      Bob
