The Queen's Royal Surrey Regiment

The Regimental Association

The Queen’s Royal Surrey Regiment Association was open to anyone who has served in The Queen's Royal Regiment, The East Surrey Regiment or The Queen's Royal Surrey Regiment (regular or territorial). It organised a number of functions each year. Amongst these were: the Annual Reunion usually held at the Union Jack Club, London in November; and the Annual Church Service, usually held at Guildford Cathedral in June.

Due to the advancing years of members and the steadily reduction in membership it was decided to close to Association in 2011. Funds were distributed as follows: One Million pounds were passed to Headquarters The Princess Of Wales’s Royal Regiment (Our Successor) to fund Benevolence, £300,000 endowment to the Surrey Infantry Museum at Clandon Park, £50,000 to each of the Regimental Chapels at Guildford Cathedral, Holy Trinity Guildford and All Saints , Kingston upon Thames.

Responsibility for Reunions, Benevolence and General Contact is now undertaken as follows:

The Infantry of Surrey Museum

The Infantry of Surrey Museum remains very much a focal point for our Regiments. In order to help raise funds for the Museum the Friends of Surrey Infantry Museum was established in June 2011. Membership costs £10 a year which entitles you to a Newsletter, priority booking for Museum events and discounts for the shop. The newsletter gives up dates on the museum and also, within the limited space available, provides a means of maintaining contact. See the section on the Museum for further details.
