Apart from the CWGC site (which, incidently, I thought was great) are there any other web sites I can use to view military/service death records. I have found a couple of possibles that may be related to me, I have their service number and date of death, but on the CWGC site their first name, date of birth/age or parents h/a are not stated. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...... |

My hubby said you could try the MOD(ministry of deffence) or royal British Legion depending hoe far you want to go back. if you know what regiment they were in try seeing if they have a regimentale web site, if you are looking for info from the ww2 to presant time they have message boards failing that one of the gov sites has that info leave it with me and i'll try to find it again Sue |

An ex-military friend supplied me these links and comments some time ago. I do not vouch their usefulness or validity but have a go: Military Medals and Records www.mod.uk It's not yet possible to inquire about medals on line, but this site has all the contact addresses and numbers you will need. Royal British Legion www.britishlegion.org.uk Guestbook helps former soldiers contact lost friends and relatives to find out about loved ones. Commonwealth War Graves Commission www.cwgc.org Records of the 1.7 million Commonwealth soldiers who died in both world wars World War One www.worldwar1.com Detailed website, recounting history of the Great War. Packed with maps, documents, biographies and pictures Soldier magazine www.army.mod.uk/ Carries messages from ex-soldiers tracing former comrades |
