Journal Articles

 

 

The MSOI's stock of articles for the journal has for all practical purposes been used up.

The latest Journal No. 91 which should have been published in June 2011 looks increasingly unlikely to be published at any stage during 2011.     

The 25th anniversary of the founding of the Society takes place in November 2011 and we would ideally like to publish an Journal to coincide with the celebrations.

All articles that have an Irish connection and are related to one or more of the areas of interest of our Members listed below are welcome for inclusion. 

·       The disbanded and existing Irish regiments of the British Army.

·       The Militia and Volunteers in Ireland.

·       Irish individuals and units who saw service in British Empire, Commonwealth and overseas armies and civil emergency services.

·       The Royal Irish Constabulary, Dublin Metropolitan Police, Royal Ulster Constabulary and Garda Siochana.

·       The Irish Defence Forces since 1922.

·       The Civil and Emergency Services of the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland

We also welcome articles from non-members.

If at all possible articles should be submitted in electronic format, either via email or on cd via letter post. If you have a type-written or hand-written article which you would like to submit please forward it by post and we will convert it.

Any member who wishes to submit an article can do so
