About us

About Still Comrades

An international online community for serving and former members of the armed forces and emergency services — built to keep the record, the humour and the friendships that service creates.

Why we exist

Service gives you two things at once: an experience almost impossible to explain to anyone who wasn't there, and a set of friendships that rarely survive the paperwork afterwards. Still Comrades exists for both.

We started with a simple observation. The photographs go in a drawer. The stories go untold until the person who could tell them no longer can. And the people you served with become a name you can't quite place. All three are fixable, and none of them fix themselves.

So this is a community with three jobs: building friendships across nations and generations, preserving the history and photographs of ordinary service, and helping former comrades find each other again. Different journeys, shared experiences, comrades for life.

Who it's for

Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, reservists, and the Police, Fire and Ambulance services — every uniformed service in the world, together with the families and friends who support them. Serving or former, one year or thirty. If you recognise the language, you belong.

How we're funded

Membership is free, and there is no payment system on this site. We take no advertising and we do not sell members' details. If that changes — for example to cover the cost of the archive — it will be announced openly and nothing you have shared will be sold.

Remember properly

Not a slogan on a wall: a record. Names, units, dates, photographs with their stories attached, held where families and researchers can find them.

Reunite without fuss

Reconnection should not depend on remembering an email address from thirty years ago. Tell us who you're looking for and we'll help you find them.

No ranks at the table

Officer or rating, regular or reservist, one year or thirty — everyone sits at the same table here. What matters is that you served and that you remember.

A word from the founder

A community built by a comrade, for comrades.

Still Comrades is independently owned and operated by a former British Army Paratrooper.

I served with the 1st Battalion, The Parachute Regiment, between 1972 and 1975.

I am not representing any military organisation. I am simply a former soldier who believes comradeship should never be forgotten.

I created Still Comrades because I believe the friendships, experiences and memories formed through military service deserve somewhere they can be shared and preserved.

I also understand that military personnel, particularly those who have served in sensitive environments, may be cautious about joining unfamiliar military websites.

So let me make one thing absolutely clear.

1st Battalion, The Parachute Regiment – 1972–1975.

Your privacy

You are always in control of what you choose to share. You do not have to publish personal service details, operational information or anything you would rather keep private.

Read the Privacy Policy

No rank required. No service required to understand comradeship. Just respect for those who have served and the stories they carry.

Different journeys. Shared experiences. Comrades for life.
