Does anyone work at or have contacts with Essex Regimental Museum?

[Chris_Baker]

I would like to obtain, if they exist, photographs of three officers of the Essex Regiment. It may be that the regimental museum has something but I am falling at the first hurdle in that I can't determine this via the internet.

Does any Forum pal work at or have contacts within the regimental museum? If so, would they please advise. (I can, of course, see the museum's details via the internet and can go that way, but an 'inside track' might help).

Have only just seen this Chris, I'm away over this weekend so you'll have to wait but I do have an email address for the military archivist at the museum. Funnily enough I'm in Chelmsford this Saturday but alas no time for a visit so if no one else gives you details in the meantime I will return...

Chris,

I have contact details for the keeper of the museum in 2008. Hopefully still the same person. I'll PM details.

That's him Martin. I have his email address but won't post it here. I'll send it on later Chris.

Yep that's the fella, I have got an email but to be honest always quicker to phone if you can get to him direct

Thanks, all. The front door it is, then.

I met Ian Hook there a couple of years ago, but he is only a part time worker, and you need to know when he is going to be in the building
