THE PURPOSE OF THE FRIENDS OF THE GREEN HOWARDS REGIMENTAL MUSEUM

The Friends aim to give support to the Museum

  • by publicising their permanent and special exhibitions
  • by offering voluntary assistance as required, and
  • by making financial grants when possible for specific projects and acquisitions.

The Friends organise a varied annual programme of educational and social activities, including lectures and visits to places of historical and military interest. They receive "The Green Howard" twice a year informing them of talks, exhibitions, and activities in a very progressive military museum.

"The Green Howard" is especially valuable. Not only are Friends informed as above, but each issue is devoted to presenting articles and research on a particular period of history with which the Green Howards are associated.
Each issue is approximately 20 pages long, and is produced to a very high standard.   "The Green Howard" is invaluable to students of military history, - or to anybody who simply wants to find out a bit more about the military history of a famous regiment!

The first issue of "The Green Howard" was in September 2006. Previous to this, the Friends of the Green Howards Regimental Museum produced a Newsletter, which was devoted to a particular aspect of the regiment's history.

Past Newsletters have provided information on;-

  • The Raising of the Regiment
  • The 19th Foot, 1738 - 1763
  • The 19th Foot in the American War of Independence
  • The 19th Regiment of Foot in the Crimea
  • The 19th Regiment of Foot in India (1857-1877)
  • The Boer War, - with the Yorkshire Regiment
  • The Green Howards in World War 1
  • Monty's Men (The British 8th Army in World War II)
  • Dunkirk, 1940 - 2000
  • National Servicemen in the Malaya Campaign
  • The Green Howards, 1997 - 2001
