WW1 army records research - we can help find your soldier and uncover his story

Many of us would like to know more about the military service of a member of our family, either to understand what he did or to find our more family information. Or perhaps you are researching a local war memorial for a WW1 centenary project. We can help.

From a photograph, medal, family tree or even just a memory ... we'll find your soldier and bring his story to life
We will delve into original and digitised records held at the National Archives and in regimental and local collections
Research often uncovers unknown stories and confirms or denies family tales to reveal what actually happened to a soldier
Research into the soldier's own records is supplemented by a deep understanding of what his unit did, where it went and the battles it fought
Our report will tell you exactly where your soldier fought ... we will illustrate it and give you a real feel for what happened
We can advise on making visits to the places of relevance to your soldier and may even be able to take you there in person
