Our illustrated journal , from modest beginnings is now a creditable publication of which we are proud, and which earns frequent praise for its contents and quality of production. Amongst society journals it is unique in being almost exclusively concerned with the study of Scottish military subjects, mainly from the 1660's to the present day . Articles printed in the journal are the result of member's research. Indeed, our members are encouraged to send their findings into the journal for publication. The Member's Letters section of the journal is also widely read.
New members are welcome from any part of the world.
Membership is also open to anyone who would like to read and learn more about Scottish military history, but does not collect actual items of military interest. Existing membership includes dedicated and casual collectors, amateur and professional historians. Join and share their knowledge and expertise. It is our intention to reproduce here on the Internet over a period of time, a selection of the research from previously published articles in Dispatch. This is to act as a guide to the information you could receive, if you decide to join the society, and then receive the latest issues of the journal.
