Linkline offers up-to-date advice, stories
and events for soldiers and their families.

If you want to advertise a unit reunion or trace an old comrade, visit the REUNIONS and SEARCHLINE section. The Searchline column also offers researchers into military matters a way to reach a very specific audience. The service is highly effective . . . and FREE.

If there's a military event open to the public, the chances are that it will be listed in our DIARY DATES. If you want to publicise an event of your own, contact the editor or e-mail to mail@soldiermagazine.co.uk

Visit our HOME TRUTHS section for editorial comment Julie McCarthy, Chief Executive of the Army Families Federation writes about the important issues of the day.

Your views about all sorts of subjects close to the hearts of soldiers and their families come across loud and clear in YOUR LETTERS section. Conditions of service, allowances, housing and quarters, married versus single privileges . . . they're all covered by the people who know you.
