You may or may not know I'm well into Family History and thought some
others may have had relatives in or killed during the First World War.
Ancestry.com are allowing free access to the War Records at this time so
you can look them up.

My dad was in the ANZAC forces during WWI, would you know if they have a
similar site? I'd love to find out more about where his division went.

I found my grandfather and his brother on the site, but other than that they
both fought in France and survived the war their wasn't much useful information.
The record of my grandfather is incomplete. It's odd that the records don't
include a soldier's date of birth.

Mine both lied so it wouldn't help much! I was not able to narrow the
6000 on offer enough to know which was my granddad. But thanks for the
link Bob, I am interested but like Sally not enough to pay the sub!
