Ogilby, D.S.O., D.L., in 1954 with the principal object of encouraging, equipping, caring for and maintaining existing Army and Regimental Museums. Since its formation the Trust has helped Reg- imental and other military Museums in a number of ways. As well as providing finance to enable them to purchase historical items of particular Regimental inter- est for the improvement of Regimental Collections, the Trust has itself purchased items of military and histori- cal inportance, and it provides an advisory service to Museum Trustees and Curators. The Trust has also endeavoured to foster interest in regimental and military tradition by sponsoring the pub- lication of certain printed works and catalogues. A num- ber of copies of each book sponsored in this way have been distributed free of charge by the Trust to existing Army and Regimental Museums so as to provide them with authoritative works of reference. In addition, b_\ making such books available to the general public, the Trust has endeavoured to stimulate and widen interest in regimental and military tradition. The Robert Ogilby Trust was founded in 1964 with aims similar to the Army Museums Ogilby Trust, but with wider powers of publication. This book has been produced by collaboration between the two Trusts. The Trusts have their offices at Falklands House. Elmwood Avenue, Feltham, Middlesex.
