Chris Baker’s military records research service

The orders that I received when I opened my order book on 29 October 2025 are my last.

After being a full-time military researcher since 2007 and squeezing it in alongside my previous career for many years before that, it is time for me to call it a day.

My full-time service opened on an Anzac Day; it will close on an Armistice Day.

My sincere thanks to the many thousands of clients who have chosen to engage me for their work over the years. It has been a genuine pleasure.

For those need help with their soldiers, I advise you to read through the “How to research a soldier” section at The Long, Long Trail and if needed to seek help from the members of the Great War Forum. The National Archives maintains a list of independent researchers that you may also find useful.

Past clients will always be welcome. Please contact me at the email address that you have.
