Military History Journal

(incorporating Museum Review until Volume 17)

Articles published over the last 54 years

The Military History Journal (incorporating the Museum Review), established in 1967, is published by the Ditsong (previously South African) National Museum of Military History in association with the South African Military History Society, bi-annually, in June and December.
As of 2017 the publication became the responsibility of the South African Military History Society and the Museum Review ceased to be part of it
The aim of the Journal is to publish research and articles of interest concerning military history by members of the Society or the Museum or any other person who wishes to submit his or her work.
