Regimental journals

• The Bugle. A Chronicle of Regimental News. The British Library holds "vol. 1. no. 2.-vol. 13. no. 330. May 1894-Sept. 1902. Imperfect; wanting vol. 1. no. 3 and vol. 9. no. 232-vol. 12. no. 312" It appears likely there were no volumes after this date, for this period. The Bugle recommenced again in the 1920s, but the British Library does not appear to have copies.
• The Regimental Journal of the Durham Light Infantry. (Incorporating “The Bugle.”) was published from 1934 and is available at the British Library
