MILITARY RECORDS

The archive collection of military records covers sources dealing with soldiers and militiamen, naval and air forces from the earliest references generally up to the end of the Great War 1914-1918. I am aware that those who served subsequently to the Great War may still be alive or have living immediate family and so although I am willing to accept deposits of material relating to this later period it will not be my general practice to make it openly available. Many of the references listed below will only contain one or two names. My priority in posting information in this archive section will be to prioritise the larger items and those which provide the greatest amount of information about the individuals named.
