The Queen's Royal Surrey Regiment: Further Reading


These lists only mention the main regimental histories and the regimental journals.  Many other books and articles on the regiments and individual battalions and campaigns, together with memoirs of some of those who served with the regiments, are held in the Surrey History Centre library. Books and other reference material can also be found using Surrey's on-line Library Catalogue (click here to go to the search page).  For a detailed history of the regiments and a time line which charts the formation of battalions and their stations in the UK or abroad, the website of the Queen's Royal Surrey Regimental Museum (http://www.queensroyalsurreys.org.uk/) should be consulted.
