Research

The Regimental Archives hold details of personalities and events involving the Soldiers of Cheshire.

Ancestry websites will only give scant detail on Military service. As we have the most extensive collection of books, pictures and records relating to the Cheshire Regiment our extensive archive will allow any interested person to find out much more about their relatives.

We have the complete collection of the Regimental magazine 'The Oak Tree'. Published from 1915 this contains many facinating details and snippets on Regimental life particularly in peace time. Below is a sample scan of the Oak Tree from June 1971.

Our researchers will assist with enquiries. Please download and complete a request form.

A donation to museum funds of at least £15 is requested for this service.
