The Tank Museum Bovington (refer [[Royal Tank Corps#External links| External links below]]) have advised they have a complete set of journals, (which are scanned, but unfortunately not available on their website) .<ref>Email to User:Maureene dated 1 March 2012 .</ref> The British Library appears to have holdings 1919- vol. 5, no. 55 (Nov. 1923), (probably when the title changed) but it would be worthwhile enquiring if they have copies past this date.
