→Army personnel serving after January 1921
<br>Note: WO 117 records are available as a free download from the National Archives website, refer below, and at least some WO 119, WO 121 and WO122 records are available on findmypast, refer above.
Fold3 contains a category Military Books (located in World War II, but covering all periods) which contains many online Naval & Military Press reprint books relating to both the British Army and the Indian Army. There are also additional titles in categories other than World War II, catalogued under the actual title, (not generally under Military Books, although WWI contains a category Australia Military Book Collection, which also covers other periods, which appear to be digital reprints from Gould Genealogy and History).
=====Chelsea Pensioners=====
The Army Personnel Centre Historical Disclosures Section holds Army Service records for officers whose service ended after April 1922 and soldiers whose service ended after January 1921. (Note, some documentation has been seen which gives the holding ''from'' April 1922, and ''from'' January 1921, respectively.)
:'''Update''': May 2018. Foot Guards Regiments service records are a separate category and all, (including pre 1921 records), were moved from regimental archives to the Ministry of Defence, August 2017-May 2018, except for Scots Guards service records, which remain in the regimental archives. (Pre 1921 Scots Guards service records are thought to eventually be going to National Records of Scotland, in Edinburgh).
Note however that some records may not have survived, such as some records for those who were awarded a disability pension,<ref>
