Membership Application Form

We have a thriving Regimental Association and our members take part in regular events as well as occasional battlefield tours.

Our Welfare Team provides support to former and current London Irish Riflemen, liaising with external organisations, including SSAFA, on matters that require further investigation.

Each year, subscribing members also receive the ‘Emerald’, the journal of the London Irish Rifles, which has been published annually since 1949.

Associate Membership is also open and available to family members of former members of the London Irish Rifles or anyone who supports the Aims and Objectives of the Regimental Association and has its interests at heart.

What not to like ? And we look forward to hearing from you.

  • Be able to take part in regular events, including parades on Loos Sunday, Remembrance Sunday and St Patrick’s Day.
  • Have the opportunity to join battlefield tours and pilgrimage commemorations arranged by the Regimental Association.
  • Receive a copy of the annual ‘Emerald’ journal.
  • Be able to reconnect with many old friends and comrades who are also members of the Association.

You may also wish to consider setting aside a small amount of future legacies to support the Regimental Association or its Benevolent Fund which provides assistance to current and former members of the London Irish Rifles..
