The Great War 1914-1918




January 2009- Please note that we are currently undergoing a technical redesign of the site to make it more efficient. The change over will take some time to complete and whilst it is in progress the messageboard is not functioning, please send all messages and replies to existing messages via our contact form or by email and we will add them to the site as soon as possible.

Please note we currently have a large backlog of submitted material, our volunteers are working through this as quickly as possible and all names, stories and photos will be added to the site.




Celebrate your own Family History


Did your relative live through the Great War or serve in the forces or on the home front? Do you have any photos, newspaper clippings, postcards or letters from that period? Have you researched the names on your local or war memorial?

Do you know the location of a Great War "Roll of Honour?"

We are very keen to track down these often forgotten documents and obtain photographs and transcriptions of the names recorded so that they will be available for all to remember.

Help us to build a database of information on those who served both at home and abroad so that future generations may learn of their sacrifice.




Celebrate your own Family History

Celebrate by honouring members of your family who served in the Great War both in the forces and at home. We love to hear about the soldiers, but also remember the many who served in support roles, nurses, doctors, land army, muntions workers etc.

Please use our Family History resources to find out more about your relatives. Then please send in a short article, with a photo if possible, so that they can be remembered on these pages.
