The Garrison - Index

In 2015 The Aldershot Garrison Herald magazine was re-launched. The magazine was published bi-monthly. Paul Vickers from the Friends of the Aldershot Military Museum writes an article for each publication. Paul has given the Friends the permission to publish the un-edited articles on this web site. Digital copies of the past issue are no longer available online.

In the Spring of 2019, the magazine was renamed to The Garrison and now gets published quarterly (Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter).

To be fair to The Garrison, the article for the current issue will not be published on this website until the next issue of the magazine is out.
