An online service to help people find British relatives who were born or died abroad launches on Monday.
More than a million records previously available only at the Public Record Office in London, or in some libraries, have been added to www.1837online.com.
The new records will be able to help anyone looking for a relative who died abroad serving for the British forces in the two world wars, or the Boer War.
Births or marriages that happened in British lines in wartime are included.
The records also cover Indian and South African regiments who fought for Britain.
