Searching Army Records And Other Ways To Trace Your Military Ancestors In Britain
Military genealogy and family history is without a doubt exciting and you will find that once you begin researching you just can't quit. Luckily now there are lots of places where you can easily get help with finding out about ancestors from British army regiments. The perfect place to start off is in fact at home by simply gathering as much information as possible from your own family.
Your family may hold important knowledge that has been handed down through the generations. Ask them to recall as much as possible and to check in lofts and scrapbooks for any further clues.
Just finding out a name can easily set you on the right path but to have a photograph or medals can bring your relative ever closer. You may discover old postcards, newspaper cuttings, parish magazine cuttings, pay books, drawings, maps, military cap badges, buttons from uniforms or battle souvenirs such as brass shell cases. If you are lucky you may well find some ‘trench art’ - battle souvenirs etched with pictures. Medals from 1914-18 are helpful finds as all servicemen had their name, rank and number inscribed upon them.
Your family might also be able to point you to graves that contain data about your relative.
When you have as much information from your family as possible, it is a good idea to make The National Archives in London your next port of call. They have continuous paper records from 1750 but also medical records and discharge papers from earlier dates. You may find unit war diaries mentioning your relative, or records of gallantry and campaign medals which will give further insights into your relative’s military life.
Throughout the 1914-18 period, casualty lists were published every day in national papers and will also be recorded in local papers, therefore a trip to the library to view the microfilms is a good idea.
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission holds details on the 1.7 million service personnel who died on operations since 1914 so are worth looking up if your relative died during one of the world wars.
Try a search of the Ceremonial and Heritage section of the Ministry of Defence website for useful facts of all the country's regimental and military museums.
Visiting an army museum can make everything a bit more real for you and allow you to have abetter understanding about military life at the time of your ancestor.
Arranging an appointment at The Imperial War Museum, London, will enable you to look at the extensive collection of diaries, memoirs and letters held in the Department of Documents. You can find out about your relative’s unit and what their life would have been like. They also have pictures and paintings that may be of interest and they have a comprehensive selection of army lists.
The National Army Museum, Chelsea, has a substantial range of artefacts, and is especially good on uniforms so could be worth popping in on if you are in London.
Regimental museums are a goldmine of useful information and most regiments have one. Over the last few centuries, many regiments have been disbanded or amalgamated and new ones have been created. However, a list of army museums can be found on the website of the Army Museums Ogilby Trust who are based in Salisbury.
