    The journal TANK is the long serving publication for the Royal Tank Regiment but during and just after WWII, several of the regiments published their own newsletters. I put together a short article on these for the Winter 2015 edition of TANK and posted on-line as full a list as I could work out to accompany the article – http://www.tankfactory.co.uk/pages/rtr_magazines.htm

    I wanted to ask whether any collectors on the forum could help to improve this list, any issues missing or even any titles missing? If anyone does have any info, I'll update the list with it and republish here for general reference.

    Many thanks

  2. Hi John - this is a great list and something I just found now as I am compiling an index of regimental journals and where to find them. Do you have copies of these in hand? If you don't have them digitized, are you willing to search for a name or two? I can follow up with a message or email.

    I am happy to see some of the more obscure titles.

    Thanks,
    Robert

    I have been looking for specific post war copies of "The Tank" and "Veritor" and I have asked the Tank Museum at Bovington if they had copies. They advised that they did have copies of "Veritor" but not a complete set and they also hold every edition of ‘The Tank’.
    They also mentioned that if you book in advance they can make copies available for viewing and that they are open Monday to Friday (excluding Bank Holidays). I intend to seek an appointment next time I am in the area.
