New record images create the most complete set of records to identify the over 5.5 million soldiers served in the British Army during World War I. This is a large topic, but research has gotten easier during the last couple of years as original resources and indexes have become available online, and new finding aids have been created. This lecture examines what records were destroyed during WWII, what records survived along with how to use the new indexes, online originals and how to interpret them. Plus put the soldier’s actions into battle context.

Excellent webinar, probably the clearest explanation of records available om WW1 I’ve seen.
Paul never fails to give a wonderful presentation.
Wow! Just what we needed to expand what we know about my husband’s Great Uncle Bertie! Turns out we’d only scratched the surface. Thank you!!!
Amazing webinar! So well done and full of information. I’ll be watching it again.
Amazing webinar with so much information. Paul’s information is always so well laid out and easy to follow. Very interesting. Thank you for yet another great source of information.
As always — Paul Milner has new ideas and places to follow up — many thanks. Any possibility Mr. Milner would do a class on the Canadian Exped. Force and the Royal Newfoundland Regiment in WWI?
very interesting topic, terrific speaker with vast knowledge of the subject
Another great webinar from Paul. I’ve researched my soldier a fair bit but still learned some new pointers.
