Findmypast
<br>To view related images, you can search on [[findmypast]], and view the images on findmypast. This will be the most convenient option for most people. Alternatively you can access the images as digitised microfilm at a FamilySearch Family History Centre, see '''[[FamilySearch Centres]]'''.
<br>These record images are also available through the FamilySearch catalogue, where the individual digitised microfilms may be described: [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/1952868 United Kingdom, Chelsea pensioners' service records, 1760-1913 [WO 97<nowiki>]</nowiki>]; [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/2345429 United Kingdom, Royal Hospital Chelsea: discharge documents of pensioners 1760-1887 (WO 122) and in addition WO 119, WO 121, WO 131 records]; [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/254431 Probably WO 119, although not stated)]. From these catalogue entries, it is clear that the FamilySearch databases of Index records cover less records than the digital microfilms available through the FamilySearch catalogue. Note however, the digitised microfilms may be selected records only from the particular record series, not the entire National Archives record series.
 
FamilySearch also contains the collection [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/2125045 United Kingdom, World War I service records, 1914-1920] consisting of WO 363 and WO 364 index records and images, see [[FamilySearch Centres]] for access details for the images. A researcher commented that an image of interest for a 'burnt document' record from WO 363 was clearer, and more of the record could be read, on FamilySearch than on Ancestry (see item below).
