“I am, so far, very well pleased that I took up the offer for Military History Monthly. The two editions, January and February, that I have received so far, have been extremely interesting and informative.
The articles cover such a variety of subjects in so many different time-frames, I find each edition of constant interest throughout. Added to that a wealth of information and advice on Exhibitions, Museums and Displays made available for those like me who enjoy military history.
I was especially interested in ‘The Agony of Afghanistan; having studied in detail the (mostly disastrous) British ventures of around 1840, 1880, and the final debacle of 1919. (I served in the Indian Army about 100 years ago!)
I look forward to future editions.”

“I have read some of your recent issues and I would like to congratulate you for having such thorough info about the numerous subjects and dates in military history, and that it has made me more and more interested in military history, I have read numerous books on the subject, and numerous VHS documentaries and your magazines dwarf these (albeit the majority of them I enjoy also). Thank you for inspiring me to continue reading on this captivating and interesting subject.”

– PC from West Yorkshire, via post
“You can make life very difficult sometimes. The postman left 2 items this morning, the first was a catalogue from my favourite shoe company promising 3 pairs for the price of 2 which is an offer I usually can’t refuse, and then—the MHM magazine offer … I guess Military History wins (the shoes can wait).”

“I am nearly 70 and have spent my life hating war, warmongers and generally everything to do with war. I am by nature a pacifist, however I am interested in history and by pure chance I started reading an issue of your magazine on my ipad.
What an excellent magazine you produce, it has taught me that just as there are many nasty evil people in the world there are many more wonderful human beings.
Thank you, your articles on the Cruel Sea and the siege of Leningrad were truly marvellous, everyone including today’s children should be encouraged to read them.
Thanks again, keep up the good work.”

“I have been taking Military History Monthly for one year and have now signed up for a second year.
I want to say how very much I have appreciated the content of the magazine – superbly edited and how much I have learnt from them.
During the last war I was a Petty Wren Radar Mechanic and with five other Wrens started the training centre for radar mechanics at HMS Collingwood – a stone frigate. Here we installed & maintained radar sets for three years (1943-6). After the war, I became very interested in military history and became a member of BCMH (British Commission for Military History).
Your journal has taught me a great deal and I am grateful to you for your excellent editing and content.”
