Join The Association

The KOSB Association exists to promote and maintain a bond of friendship between its members regardless of rank, time served, or locations and operational theatres served in. Costs for operating the Association have up to now been largely absorbed from our investments  and donations, but membership subscriptions are an important part of our income contributing towards welfare costs for Borderers in difficulty.  Welfare aside, the Association does a great deal in addition to support, enable and enhance the promotion of the comradeship of its members and the long and distinguished history and heritage of the Regiment.

Membership is open to all who have served as a KOSB either in the Regular or Reserve forces and to members of attached Corps who served with the KOSB. To join the Association please fill in the form below and tick the pop-up terms and conditions to show that you have read and understood your membership. If at any time you need assistance, please contact a member of the Association or use the contact page.
