The British Journal for Military History is the scholarly journal of the British Commission for Military History.
Website: https://journals.gold.ac.uk/bjmh/
For clarity, it's not the Journal that gives grants, it's our parent organisation, the British Commission for Military History, that does www.bcmh.org.uk/what-we-do/g...
Although, as you say, sadly they're not what the OP is looking for.

The authors conclude by hoping that an ‘accurate and meaningful figure’ will better enable the CWGC to ‘find ways to recognise and fittingly commemorate’ those whose service has to date often been overlooked, marginalised, or diminished. 7/7

The issue is completed by a Research Note and an Article dealing with a connected subject – casualty statistics. The note by Richard Carrier focuses on the Italian Royal Army fatalities 1940-1943, noting the varied fatal dynamic of each of the 7 campaigns in which it fought. 5/7

2025 is also the 250th anniversary of the United States Army so it is fitting we have an article on the American Revolution by Robert S. Davis. This revisits the place of the British ‘Southern Strategy’ in the war, its planning, its importance and its ultimate failure. 4/7

A 3rd article, by Andrew Willett, challenges the depiction of the Indian National Army as either having played a central military role in India’s independence struggle or as an irrelevance in the fighting in Asia after 1942 & considers the impact of the British response to the perceived threat. 3/7
