The Society was founded in the United Kingdom on 1st January 1977, initially from members of the Band Section of the Military Historical Society.
Lieutenant Colonel Sir Vivian Dunn KCVO OBE FRAM RM agreed to become the founder President and continued to take a very active interest in the Society up to his death in 1995.
The Society expanded rapidly with the formation of overseas branches and in 1998 an International Committee was formed to govern the Society, whilst the United Kingdom membership was established as a branch of the Society rather than the central nucleus as hitherto.
