Final release of the British Army WWI Service Records, 1914–1920
You may find up to as many as 16 pages of information on your WWI veteran in this collection of 2 million service records for soldiers who served in the British Army during WWI.

Each record includes a variety of possible documents, including conduct sheets, medical history forms, disability statements, awards, discharge papers and more.

De Ruvigny’s Roll, United Kingdom, 1914–1924.
This collection of biographies for more than 26,000 Army, Navy and Air Force personnel from the UK who were killed during WWI is one of the great family history resources for the Great War.

The amount of information for each soldier varies depending on where it came from. Those biographies written by family members usually contain extensive detail, and approximately 7,000 of the biographies include photographs.

Search approximately 1.5 million records for Germans who served in the Bavarian Army (Bavaria is the largest state in Germany, occupying about 20% of the country’s land mass).

You’ll find rich detail on each soldier, including a record of their service, key dates, medals/honors, injuries and more.

This initial release contains records for the Bavarian War Ministry, High Command, Infantry (excluding reserves) and Cavalry.

Ireland, Casualties of World War I, 1914–1918
If you had an ancestor who died during the Great War and was either born in Ireland or had Irish residence while serving, search this roll of honor. It lists more than 49,000 Irish individuals who died during the war.

Each record includes the name of the soldier, his/her regiment, rank, death place/date and birthplace. You will also occasionally find other details included, such as age, elaboration about how the individual was killed, medals or other facts.
