World War One Research
Facts uncovered and mysteries solved
What Can I Do?
I can provide copies of surviving Service records, both for Officers and Other Ranks, along with Medal entitlement details and the Regiment and the Battalion a man served with, if these records are identifiable to a specific man.
If a man was awarded a Gallantry medal, I can also supply further details of that.
To enhance these personal records, I can also provide copies of War Diaries, in the case of the Army or Operation Records Books in the case of the RAF. Both would provide a day-by- day account of where the man’s Battalion or Squadron was serving and what they were involved in, which will really give a picture of what your ancestor experienced.
I can also investigate whether a man was a Prisoner of War and supply copies of those records.
As part of any of this research, I am also able to search a variety of contemporary local newspapers for further information on a man and his service.
I can also research Military Nurses.
All of the above research can be carried out on an individual man, or, for a number of men, for example researching all men on a War Memorial.
Please contact me if you would like me to research any of the above.
