Transcriptions of this record series (and more records) are available on Forces War Records, see details below.
***"Royal Naval Division Records 1914-1919" and "Royal Naval Division Service Records 1914-1920". The Royal Naval Division transferred from the authority of the Admiralty to the War Office on 29 April 1916.

At least the Electoral Register for London appears to contain Absent Voter information, so some other Electoral Registers may similarly do so.
