Membership

Pipe BandThe Association’s membership covers all age groups and many cap badges. There are currently 99 Association branches nationwide including Northern Ireland. There may be one in your home town or nearby, membership of a branch is optional. Branch meetings are generally held monthly to organise social functions, visits, reunions, pilgrimages, battlefield tours and of course to catch up on the latest Regimental news and gossip over a drink or two.

All of the branches are keen to recruit those who have recently left the service. They also welcome visits from serving soldiers. They are particularly keen to hear about your experiences in today’s Army.
