| The Britannia Index of pieces quoted in the Norfolk Section The Britannia and Castle |
| In 1927 the
first number of the Regimental journal, 'The Britannia',
was published under the Editorship of the then Captain MD
Jephson. It was not the first time that the Regiment had
decided to publish a journal for in 1883 the Officers of
the 2nd Battalion, The Norfolk Regiment, published a
monthly journal called 'The Britannia'. Unfortunately,
this ceased publication after a few months due to lack of
support. In 1910 a quarterly journal, 'The Holy Boy' was
started but this ceased publication on the outbreak of
WW1. The Late Capt William Gaymer TD (d Jan 06), kindly gave the Norfolk Editor copies of the journal; No 26 Autumn 1939 to the last edition No 54 Aug 1959. The following were quoted in the B&C. |
