The website aims is to provide a useful, informative and amusing site for people with an interest in the British Army. Visitors can expect to find both reasoned argument and general chatter within the site.
The site is predominantly based around an internet forum with auxiliary sections for uploading pictures; reviewing various military-themed items, such as books and equipment; and others.
The ARRSEPedia[2] is a somewhat irreverent military encyclopedia using MediaWiki. In their own words "The content is humorous, serious, sensible, stupid, decent and just occasionally a touch offensive."
