by P. Goble |
 |
| This record of admissions of boys and girls to the Royal Military Asylum from 1803 to 1880 in the case of male entrants and from 1803 to 1847 although some data for the female students is missing from the records. This data, which includes ages, parentage, regimental unit and other fascinating data will be invaluable to anyone engaged in genealogical research. The data is available on a CD and
comes with precise instructions of how to gain access to its content. P. Goble estimates that the descendants of these RMA children from 1903 to 1880 number about two and a half million people. |

by David A. Harris |
 |
|
This
second edition of author David Harris' popular guide to military
temperance medals includes a wealth of new material. Enlarged in
size, scope and pages from the first issue, Harris has drawn on
the knowledge and expertise of numerous specialists in the field.
New research in the records of the Army Temperance Society (ATA),
the Royal Army Temperance Society (RATA) and the Royal Navy Temperance
Society (RNTS) has resulted in a more complete treatment of temperance
medals than any previous treatment of the subject. New plates both
in colour and black and white, anecdotes and a large number of
regimental medals add to the extraordinary history of the temperance
movement in the British Army and Royal Navy. The book will be a
welcome addition to the library of any collector of military medals.
