Different records are created for officers and enlisted men in the British Army. This lecture uses case studies to trace involvement of officers and enlisted using examples from the War of 1812, though the records are applicable for most pre WWI soldiers, thus much wider appeal.

Great session – now I am hoping to find British soldier in my line!
Great webinar with lots of fantastic information. A must watch again webinar to gain the most from the presentation.
Had thought by the title that it would have been about the British soldier in Canada during the war of 1812. And because it was part of the Oh Canada series. However the talk was very interesting and the handout great
How to start looking for my great grandfather, from Oran Scotland
I appreciate the logical detailed approach to how to fine records.
I learned a lot from this talk.
I learned a lot. Thank you.
I misunderstood what the webinar was about. My ancestors in the War of 1812 were from the US. As far as I know I don’t have any British soldiers.
I was totally transfixed as I have had trouble actually getting the information to show up on the national archives. So Thank you
Information overload! Seriously, it was an eye opener about what records are available. In my research to date I’ve just picked up bits that I’ve found on Ancestry or FindMyPast. Takes patience and focus to work through the National Archives records – but apparently very rewarding.
Interesting webinar Thanks
Interesting!
Knowledge of is subject

Love Paul Milner!
Mr. Milner is a wonder speaker – he has great visuals and explains them very well.
My ancestor was in the British army but was not an officer. He fought in the Napoleonic Wars. My interest is in why and when he was sent to Canada. Thanks for the presentation. Did get some useful information that I will check into.

The history factor in searching your ancestor was so fascinating.
This was my first Webinar and I’ve already signed up for several more, including many in the 24 hour series. It was really nice of Paul to agree to answer follow up email questions.
This was very clear and concise. Thank you.
Today’s webinar was brilliant! I’m definitely going to have to watch it again!
Very good for British soldiers, however I was hoping that this would include the residents of Canada who were in the militia for the War of 1812. Got valuable information about the British point of view, so still worthwhile.
Very informative and interesting.
Very interesting – thanks!
Very interesting even though my war of 1812 ancestors were soldiers in the American army.
