This edition is devoted to the CIV, or the City of London Imperial Volunteers. I was aware of the unit and the reason for their recruitment at very short notice, but beyond that I was a little hazy. The whole issue was raised by my son and this journal edition is the result.

The Society continues to attract new members and our library is an excellent source of research for members. If you have any material that would enhance our material, please let me know.

Likewise, if you would like to submit an article for publication, I would be pleased to hear from you.

I hope you find the following three articles of interest,

Dr Adrian Greaves

Journal Editor.
