The Queen’s Royal Surrey Regimental Association
Following the amalgamation of The Queen's Royal and The East Surrey Regiments the former Old Comrades' Associations were amalgamated to form The Queen’s Royal Surrey Regimental Association which continues to look after the welfare of its old soldiers and their dependants, Chapels and Memorials.
In addition to the Chapel in Holy Trinity, the Association also gives grants to maintain the Memorials of the Regiment in All Saints Church Kingston (The East Surrey Regiment) and the Chapel and Memorials in the Chapel of The Queen’s Royal Surrey Regiment in Guildford Cathedral. The Association makes these grants in recognition of the Service and sacrifice of those whose names are inscribed in the Books of Life and on the walls of this Church and Chapel.
