About this webinar

The British Army went everywhere in the world. They kept wonderful records but they are different for officers and enlisted men. This lecture uses case studies to trace involvement of officers and enlisted men in different theatres around the world. The lecture highlights what is available from 1660 to WWI, when the records change markedly.

    Paul Milner is the best! I always enjoy his presentations.

    Presented well & easy to understand.

    Quick, but loads of useful information. Thanks

    Really fascinating! And it gave me some ideas for searching for my Napoleonic War ancestor and my War of 1812 ancestors. Thank you!

    So knowledgeable! I don’t think I have any applicable ancestors, but it was interesting to listen to.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH

    thanks again for another brickwall buster

    This is a good one, I may find my info about my ancestor who was in the British army. Thank you

    This topic can obviously not be covered in the time allowed. wow . I appreciated following the process with the soldier and walking us thru, even quickly, how to discover information. He is an excellent presentor and is so informed on various topics. I also appreciate it when the ‘host’/’moderator is brief with house keeping issues ie intro, drawing of prize. This poor presentor needed every second he could have.

    to fast, should either be longer or split between officers and enlisted

    Too much like the War of 1812 webinar.

    Very excellent and well explained search areas and parameters for British and Canadian records both digitized and microfilmed. A great starting off point for any of the armed services through National Archives.govUK/(?)lists
