The Thane of Fife, county symbol for many years and worn as insignia by many units in 1 form or another

Thane of Fife
Welcome to the Fife Military Project. This site is my attempt to bring together in one place a wealth of information on the Historical Military Forces in Fife.

This history will weave through many big historical events but will concentrate on the parts played by the Fifers. There are plenty of books and websites dedicated to the general history of the period

The site covers the 19th and 20th centuries and the first pages online will deal with Napoleonic and Victorian times, 20th century information will be added as I progress.

It's a facinating story covering all sorts, famous, infamous, wealthy arristocrats, penniless beggars, poets, artists, spurned lovers, duellists, convicts and even one shark.

This site should be helpful to family historians and military history buffs alike, if you have any comments please contact us or join the forum. If you have any more information that would help to tell the story please get in touch.

The site will be updated frequently so check back or sign up to the RSS feed to keep abreast of what's happening.
