The Lion and The Rose, The Regimental Journal

Digitised copies of the Journal are now being added to our website.

The Lion and The Rose, is the Regimental Journal of the King's Own Royal Regiment.  It was started in 1905 by the 1st Battalion when they were based out in India.  So the Journal for its first few years was produced, printed and published in India.  When the 1st Battalion left India it was decided that they could no longer produce the Journal and it was expected to cease.  Fortunately the editorship and publishing moved to the Regimental Depot at Bowerham Barracks, Lancaster, and the Journal continued.  In 1913 it is shown as being Published at the Depot, Bowerham Barracks, Lancaster, and printed by J Kellett of No. 20 The Arcade, Lancaster.  Publication ceased at the start of the First World War, and resumed in 1921. 

The curator maintains a number of indexes and lists based upon the information in the Regimental Journals.  A subject index for only the early years exists and work is on-going to expand the index.
