Enquiries will be answered as soon as is possible. Depending on the volume of enquiries this may take some weeks. However, if we feel an enquiry may take some time to answer we will endeavour to make you aware of this.
Research Charges
It is very much regretted that in order to cover our own expenses, we will have to start charging for research enquiries undertaken after 1st January 2011. These are raised on a not-for-profit basis and will be used to fund the conservation and maintenance of the museum, which is a registered charity.
Research is carried out by Museum staff and experienced volunteers with considerable knowledge of the history of the Regiment. The charge for an enquiry from the general public will be £20 and is in line with the charges of most other military museums for similar undertakings. This figure is based on approximately one hour of research for relevant information and the preparation of a helpful and if possible informative response. If there is extensive material available you will be told in advance and there may be an additional charge.
Special rates may be applied to those who wish to initiate enquiries for commercial purposes and/or for financial gain – authors, media researchers and others. To avoid misunderstanding, such persons are requested to declare their interest at the outset.
