 Regimental
Association Centenary
Peter Philips, Chairman of the United Kingdom Branch of the
Regimental Association has sent in a
'flyer', that accompanied the most recent edition

gives details of the United Kingdom Branch events to celebrate
the 100th Anniversary of the Regimental Association. Former
members of the BSA Police and members of the Regimental Association
are invited to, and indeed encouraged to, attend these events,
the series of which will most likely be the last 'global'
meetings of members. Former members of the force are expected
to converge for this celebration from around the globe. Please
