YOUR WIKI NEEDS YOU!

There comes a time when change is necessary and change has come round again with the forum's sister site, The Border Regiment Wiki Project. It is now at a new location and is ready for anyone who has an interest in the Regiment during WWI. Now seems as good a time as any to ask you for your support in adding to the wiki with your own information.

Anyone will be able to add or edit the pages and upload files to the wiki, however, you will need to be registered to do this (which is a security measure more than anything). I am asking YOU if you can help the wiki project with information about a person, battalion or anything relating to the Border Regiment, documents, stories, images etc., it would be most welcome.

The Border Regiment Wiki Project
is now a community project where you can publish your articles and shared your knowledge about the
Regiment for future generations.

Any questions, just PM me and I'll be happy to answer them. Admin
