Venusinaglass Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Apologies for another question but I just have so many ! Is it possible to locate the enlistment records of soldier ? If it is how does one go about locating / researching them? Thanks again. Louise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 You can check via the Ancestry website - they have records upto about "P" I believe on- line. The National Archives has all the WW1 Service records that are still in exisitence (provided they were discharged from the Army prior to 1922) on microfilm but NOT on-line. Unfortunately though a large amount of the service records were destroyed due to enemy action in 1940 and a lot of the ones that remained were badly damaged as well.

leigh kitchen Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I've checked Ancestry.co.uk for the service records of Samuel & re "T" Proud with negative result. They may ne there, but I have'nt found them. I don't know if it's of any use, but here's a link to "Ancestrys" free 14 day trial offer: http://landing.ancestry.co.uk/offers/uk/learn/trial.aspx?atlassearch=paid&OVRAW=ancestry.co.uk&OVKEY=ancestry.co.uk&OVMTC=standard&OVADID=9051746531&OVKWID=74830703031&o_xid=35000&o_lid=35000&offerid=0%3a21318%3a0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
