I RESEARCH SOLDIERS
In 2008 I launched my Army Service Numbers 1881-1918 blog and over the years I have helped hundreds (if not thousands) of military and family historians. I also carry out research. Drop me a line if you need help.
NOTE There is also a RESEARCH button against every returned result on this site. Click on this button to find out more about research services for individual soldiers.
There are currently 106498 photos of British Army soldiers published on this website
