Middlesex Regiment - Is there an Old Comrades Assn or Museum?

Folks,
Can anyone tell me if there is a Middlesex Regiment Old Comrades Association or Museum?

I have a number of photographs of Graffiti which was written by Middlesex Regiment soldiers during WW2.

References to "1st Battalion Middlesex, D Company April 1942."

"The Middlesex Diehards" and some very interesting comments.

These have all been written on walls in Killymoon Castle, Cookstown.

There are drawings of Hitler, Lists of interesting sayings and "Brentford to win the Cup!"

Even a paper list of surnames with Rifle numbers however it is too difficult to read.


I would like very much to learn more about these men.

Hope you can help

Andy

 

The Regimental Museum used to be in Bruce Castle Archives/Museum, Tottenham, around 1990, so it might be worth dropping them an email:

Haringey Archive and Local History | Haringey Council

Their website also mentions there is a 'Middlesex Regiment Association'.

Post deleted, already researched. I hadn't scrolled down far enough.

 

Museum is already rolled into NAM, with all associated archives.

Minimal more stuff in Metropolitan Archive etc.

Middlesex got really shafted with disbandment etc, abolition of county/becoming part of Greater London in 1965 and have ended up pretty much being forgotten in the process.

 

Agreed. They had a small museum of Middlesex Regiment memorabilia at Bruce Castle, but very little in the way of archival material. It was even worse for Middlesex Home Guard material. I've an awful feeling it was binned in 1965...

 

Thanks very much. Andy

 

Brilliant. Cheers. Andy.

 

When Middlesex was taken over by the London County Council, it's almost as if there was a soviet-style purge to remove the history. All pre-war military vehicles had Middlesex C.C. registrations and the records were destroyed en-masse. With most other local authorities, there was usually something left. Surrey was lucky as it didn't disappear completely, but the parts that were swallowed-up were ruthlessly stripped of any Surrey identity.
