WELCOME
The content of this web site is a collection of photographs and memories, which a few 'Poachers' generously chose to share with the world. We are very grateful to all our contributors because they have made this website the success it is today.
APPEAL
Up to date [14th January 2010] we have hardly any stories and pictures from those who served between 1950 and 2009. If you were a 'Poacher' anytime during those years, we would particularly like to hear from you. Of course, we are still interested in material from prior to 1950 too. We usually include all relevant material that is sent in [it must be 'Poacher' related], unless we believe that it may infringe copyright law.
Please email your stories and/or photographs to: postmaster@thelincolnshireregiment.org
If you wish to contact us for any other reason, please go to our Contacts page.
