RESEARCH GUIDANCE

The Museum archive holds documents, books and photographs relating to the 91st Argyllshire Highlanders, 93rd Sutherland Highlanders and Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, including nominal rolls, personal diaries and letters, Regimental magazines and selected war diaries.

The Museum does not hold personal service records, instead these may be found in the following locations:

1794-1920
Soldiers’ documents from this period are held at the National Archives at Kew and can be found online through paid subscription services such as Find My Past, Ancestry and Forces War Records. Ancestry can be accessed for free through selected local libraries. Please note that a large proportion of records were destroyed in the Blitz during the Second World War.

1920-Present Day
These records are still held by the MOD’s Army Personnel Centre. Applications can be made here. Please note that these are confidential records and may not be made available to general enquirers.
