Hi Guys,

Unfortunately with the introduction of Internet Explorer V6 and its insistence on rendering HTML in accordance with the strict rules of the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) the Java Script menus that powered this website for the past year or so now stay permanently open when viewed in Internet Explorer version 6.

I will re-write the script to comply with W3C but that may take a little while so in the meantime I have moved all but the first level navigation to this page.

All the internal links come first and they are followed by the external ones. Have fun and many thanks to uncle Bill Gates.

Glider Links
A page on this website with a list of links to Glider related websites throughout the world. One of the unique heritages of the Kings Own Royal Border Regiment is that it is one of the few Regiments to have flown into battle in gliders. As a result of this all ranks wear the glider badge on their right shoulder.
KORBR Sergeants Mess Reunion
Brilliant Regimental website set up with a view to keeping Members of the Sergeants Mess in touch but much more than that now. Webmaster Mick Dennison (ex Signals Platoon). Cracking forum and plenty of email contacts with ex-Regiment characters. You won't find many Ruperts on this one!

If you want to know what is going on in the Regiment this is the site to go to. Beware however that it is managed by the MOD and they only put their spin on the site's content.

Of Alan Parkinson.  This website contains my army and military experiences whilst serving in the Kings Own Royal Border Regiment as a national serviceman in the Cameroons and also contains the true story of my time training from Fulwood to Barnard Castle to the Cameroons and back to Barnard Castle.

Under 'Your Stories' there is a memoire by Drum Major Paul Maxwell, KORBR. If you read this Paul we would like to copy it to this website.
2nd Battalion the Border Regiment (USA)
The second Battalion the Border Regiment strives to recreate a typical British battalion during the period of the First World War. The membership hails mostly from the greater Chicago and Milwaukee areas, with members also residing in Indiana and other parts of Wisconsin. We re-enact at the Great War Memorial Site in Newville, Pennsylvania.Company of Select Marksmen (USA)
We are the recreated Colonel John Campbell's Canadian Indian Department and Captain Alexander Fraser's Company of Select Marksmen, as well as Captain David de Monin’s Company of Rangers—all together, we portray Colonel Campbell’s “Corps of Savages.” Our goal is to work closely with museums, research organizations, and historic sites to present the most accurate possible portrayal of the life of the common soldier in the frontier war fought on the Lakes and through the Adirondacks.

Another Kings Own Royal Border Regiment Website
The website manager is Billy Cowpland ex A Company. This site is Sponsored by Billy Fitzgeralds ( Ex A Company and Signals Platoon )
Chindit Company Website
This website has been discontinued but will be resurrected by Charlie in the near future.
A new and embryonic website being created by Chalie Magyar. Focussed on Chindit Company but of interest to all the Regimental Family and well worth a visit.


Save The Regiments Website
A brilliant website. Well organised and has a lot of backing from some dedicated people.

Save The Kings Website
The King's are setting an example to all of us. Visit their Save The Kings website and get inspired. Unfortunately this website doesn't appear to have been updated recently and concentrates on the London Rally but it is still worth a visit.

LONDON RALLY
Visit this website to find out all about the London "Save The Regiments" Rally and March. Plenty of useful information and links.

Save the Scotish Regiments Website
The Jocks have got it right. Visit their website and be amazed at what we in the rest of the United Kingdom are NOT being told about the situation in the Armed Forces. Visit their website and get plenty of free ammunition to email to the Press and the Establishment.
