The latest issue of the Victorian Military Society's SOTQ (Soldiers of the Queen) was delivered on Saturday, and I have spent some of the time since reading each of the articles in it.
The articles included in this issue are:
- The Army and the Periodic Press by Prof Ian F W Beckett
- A Soldier of the Queen and the Imperial Tour of India 1875-1876 by David Howell
- Commissions by the Back Door by Dr Roger Salmon
- 'Arithmetic on the Frontier' by John Sly
- Book Reviews by Andy Smith
- Obituary: Meurig Giles Morgan Jones by Dan Allen
- Officers of the Victorian Military Society
- Myth and Reality: Military Art in the Age of Queen Victoria Tuesday 1st July 2025 to Sunday 1st November 2026 at the National Army Museum.
Another excellent collection of articles, and it is very difficult to select a single one as being more interesting that another. That said, I can see myself returning to and re-reading both Professor Beckett's article about the Army and the press and Dr Salmon's article about the commissioning of officers via the back door.
The annual cost of membership of the Victorian Military Society is:
- UK: £30.00
- Overseas: £40.00 [except for Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore: £43.00])
My opinion remains that this magazine and the membership of the Victorian Military Society is well worth the cost of the annual subscription.
