The Archive of the Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers (Militia)
The Museum holds about fifty ledgers, books and documents which form the Archive of the Royal Monmouthshire Royal Engineers (Militia).
There are Enlistment Registers, Muster Rolls, Monthly Returns, Regimental Orders, and Adjutant's Letters.
Many records have been lost over the years.

Note that the Monmouthshires, or the Mons, are not here. They were part of the South Wales Borderers
Books and documents held here in Monmouth are listed at the Archives Hub
Documents relevant to the Regiment held in archives outside Monmouth
After 1920 men had Army, not Regimental, numbers and their records are held at the Army Personnel Centre in Glasgow - 0141 248 7890
