Just got this announcement from Ancestry.com

In honor of Veterans Day, as well as the 100th anniversary of WWI, we’re offering free access to our top military collections, worldwide. Start exploring the largest online collection of military records for your family’s veterans in Draft Registration Cards. Find valuable clues such as rank, awards, battle details, and even hair and eye color.

They don't say when the offer operates. Access is free right now, both via Ancestry.com & Ancestry.co.uk
Presumably it runs thru the end of Veterans Day - midnight 11/11/2014 EST; i.e. 5.am. Wed 12/11/14 in UK
