"if you knows a better 'ole then go to it"
An excellent interesting site, takes up much of my on line time. Tom has
been a great help to me, a genuine nice bloke, the site is excellent.
I am a proud member of the Western Front Association. This is their site
check it out .If you are viewing from abroad, why not join, the journal "Stand
to" is worth the membership fee on it's own. The motto is remembering, my
interpretation of this is of both sides of the wire.
from this page you should be able to
navigate yourself around most of the decent sites . There are more interesting
Canadian sites listed below.
Steve
Conway's Australian
Site
This site is truely excellent with a great
deal of potential left in it. I thoroughly enjoy this one. It covers Australia's
story well with lot's more to come. Very Highly recommended. Steve has been
buggered about by his server lately and his site has been off line which
is a crime. He's back on line now with a phoenix that's certainly risen from
the ashes.
Steve Metcalfe's
Northallerton Memorial
Project
This is another good UK site from another WFA member who has researched the local memorials in his area, lot's of lessons to be learnt here. Well worth a look especially if you are going to look up your local memorial
Mike Rodens website- I'm pleased to report another British site.
It's new and constantly expanding. I liked what I have seen so far so check
it out and lend Mike your support.
The Public Records
Office
I keep refering to the PRO in many of my articles, the link is here,
Their e.Mail address is : enquiry.pro.rsd.kew@gtnet.gov.uk
SWAVENSEY IN
THE GREAT WARThis is Phil
Curmes site. It goes into detail about the men of this tiny hamlet that died
in the Great War. I can relate to this as I have looked at the Kent
equivalents.
Austalian Medal's
Website
This site really
compliments Steve Conways site nicely. It gives details of Australians and
the medals earned and has a decent links site
Trenches on the
web
This site is truely immense, you could spend hours there. It's source
is obviously in the USA as quite a great deal of interesting information
of their involvement is there. There is a good deal of European articles
there. The moral though is to contribute, then there will be more.
Southern Medals-
if you're looking for WW1
or any British medals you can't go wrong looking at John Williams Southern
Medals list.
Information on
Australian Servicemen
This gives
some information on service papers etc
The AIF database
This could
be useful if you are looking up certain personnel
WW1 document archive
as it says a document archive,
really useful, it's links section is one of the largest . Through this
page you can join a large community of like minded people in the global village.
This page is a UK one,
dedicated to preserving our WW1 memorials many of which are disappearing,
or becoming decrepid. Please look and support.
Jonathan
hasn't got a website, I have listed him as a reliable researcher in the British
archives. MAny have asked me for help in finding lost relatives, here is
the man who can, also with new papers available, ever fancied getting the
service papers of a famous officer, Sassoon or Owen???
The Commonwealth Wargraves
Commission
This is the homepage of the CWGC, the respect I have for this organisation and it's work has no limit, the proffessionalism and standards are second to none in my opinion
-I stumbled across this one, Danny is a former serving Matelot
, a veteran of the Falklands, his page is excellent for those of you who
love the Navy as I do.
Phil Lascelles Site -
The first one from New Zealand,
This site has all sorts of militaria/ medals sites listed
The official website of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines, this is a very polished PR site telling us more about the modern Royal Navy and Marines
The Mapleleaf
Project.- This is
a project that hopes to have every grave of every Canadian soldier killed.
The idea is to allow relatives a chance to see the grave of their loved ones
who are likeliy to be buried thousands of miles away.
Canadian Army Service
papers- These are now
getting digitalised and some now are available on line, mainly those whose
surnames begin with C. But look up to see if someone who you are searching
for has papers.
