The Society for ArmyHistorical Research SAHR was founded in 1921 to foster interest in the history and traditions of British and Commonwealth armies, and to encourage research in these fields. ref Minutes of the meeting leading to establishment of the Society published in Journal of the Society for ArmyHistorical Research, 1.1 Sept. 1921 , pp. 3 5. ref It is one of the oldest societies of its kind. Past members include notable British Field Marshals Wavell , Sir Claude Auchinleck Auchinleck and Gerald Templer Templer . The current president is Field Marshal Sir John Chapple and Major General Sir Sebastian Roberts is Chairman of its Council. The Society s interests embrace both army and regimental history, military antiquities and pictures, uniforms, badges and medals, arms and equipment and the history of land warfare in general. The study of campaigns, commanders and the political aspects of war are covered from the sixteenth century to the 1960s. Activities The Society s main activity is the publication of a peer reviewed quarterly Journal reflecting its members interests. Typically, each issue will contain 4 5 articles as well as a review section of relevant literature. Not all articles are dryly academic however there are often interesting or amusing anecdotal forays into historical nooks, or revealing examinations of unjustly forgotten soldiers. In addition, over the years, the Society has produced a number of special issues monographs on dress distinctions and bibliographical or regimental research aids, as well as previously unpublished soldiers letters or diaries. ref For instance John Marshall Deane, A Journal of John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough Marlborough ...

Iran Army Menu This article will only consider military equipment that has been used since 1925, and is no longer considered standard issue within the regular armed forces. From 1925 to the Iranian Revolution in 1979, Iran used to be equipped with the very latest Western hardware. Cases exist where Iran was supplied with equipment even before it was made standard in the countries that developed it for example the US F 14 Tomcat , or the British Chieftain Tank . The Iran Iraq War , and post revolutionary sanctions at the time had a dramatic effect on Iran s inventory of Western equipment. Under the pressures of war all supplies were quickly exhausted and replacements became increasingly difficult to come by. Despite severe concerns regarding quality and effective design, the war eventually forced Iran to turn towards the Soviet Union and China amongst others to meet its short term military requirements. Nevertheless, the experience of using advanced and high quality Western equipment was not lost on any of the branches of the Iranian armed forces. Severely disappointed with the inferior Russian and Eastern equipment, Iran sought to develop its own indigenous ability to mirror the high technology of the west and to provide a totally reliable source of equipment for the future. Hardware Tanks Most of the Iranian combat vehicles are a motley mix of U.S., Chinese, and Soviet era Russian materials. The American vehicles Patton tank M 60 Patton tanks came from between 1941 1979, when the U.S. and its bloc supported the government of the Shah . During the Iran Iraq War of 1980 1988, much of the replenishing of the Iranian materials came through Communist China.
