Keeping in Touch
with Ex-Green Howards

This is the first stop on this website for keeping in touch with old comrades or finding members of the Regiment who served in the past.

Here you will find links to a page which provides extracts from "The Green Howards' Gazette".   News items which provide information on personel belonging to the Green Howards may be found here. Although we would always recommend that you BUY a copy of the 'Gazette', you may find something on this page to help you.

One of the most popular pages on the Friends of the Green Howards website, - and one which you are sure to return to(!), is the Guest Book.   Here, you can leave a message for everyone to see, or see what other people have to say.   Many old comrades have been put in touch through this page.

On the Friends website there is a page which lists Obituaries of past or present members of the regiment.   Obituaries which are published in "The Green Howards' Gazette" or in national newspapers will be shown here.   However, if you would like to draw our attention to obituaries published either privately or in local newspapers, please contact us.
