Re: Small Beer?

Slightly off topic I'm afraid but as the underlying theme of this thread is the commemoration and remembrance of those who took part in WW1 I feel justified in mentioning here this relatively recent initiative by the Imperial War Museum.

https://livesofthefirstworldwar.org/

In brief it is an attempt to record as much as possible of ALL who took part, an immense task but they have made a good start with over 7.5 million already listed. Over and above the obvious listing of obvious data (name, rank, unit etc) it is possible to add details of the person's life and also to positively record your remembrance of the person.

I'm mentioning this simply because as yet this project does not seem to be well known, possibly because the IWM wanted a head start to get a substantial amount of data added from the official records in order to get the ball rolling.
