The Royal Green Jackets Regimental Association Database was launched on May14th 2008 following several weeks of testing to ensure it fulfilled the criteria laid down by the Royal Green Jackets Management Board. It brings together four databases.
Everyone who has served in the RGJ are automatically entitled to be placed on the database however to access all the information held you do have to be a paid up member of the association. We encourage everyone to pay their membership fee of £10.00 PA or £100.00 life membership to gain the greatest possible benefits from the database. RGJ Officers who are members of the RGJ Officer’s Dining Club and who pay their subscriptions by Direct Debit are automatically a member of the Central Branch of the RGJ Association. If they need to do a check as to their membership status they should contact Lt Col (Retd) J-D von Merveldt on london@the-rifles.co.uk
