The Military History Research Index
These pages are available for anyone to record their military history interests in order to make contacts with other researchers. Simply Email me with your interests [Mark your subject title as "Mil Research"] keeping them as concise as possible and indicating which of the four main headings to place the item under [i.e.: Units and Formations; Personnel; Subjects; Miscellaneous]. I will endeavour to add them on at the next update, but please be patient. Also I would welcome any comments on how to improve the index.
