Regimental Journal

A regular regimental journal can be a valuable source of information. St. George's Gazette was published from 1883 to 1968. The British Library has this publication in its catalogue, but it is not clear how many editions it holds. Another source may be the National Army Museum. The library at the Museum (refer below) has copies according to this link
