About the Society

One of Britain’s oldest military history societies, the Society For Army Historical Research (SAHR) aims to encourage the study of the history and traditions of the British Army from the late middle ages to modern times.

Our main activity is the publication of a quarterly peer-reviewed Journal reflecting the members' interests and the results of their own research. We also hold regular speaking events and public lectures. To recognize outstanding research in British military history, the society awards the Templer Medal Book Prize as well as a number of lesser prizes and research grants.

SAHR Lecture Series: Ismini Pells.
On 15th February, Pells will speak on Philip Skippon, one of the leading military and political figures of the Civil Wars of 1642-49.
