:'''Update''' 24 May 2019. A group of records from First World War ICRC records (see above) has been added to Findmypast, although exact details were not provided.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20190531224338/https://blog.findmypast.co.uk/british-armymilitary-recordsarmy-ancestorsgerman-genealogyeuropean-rec-2637795508.html Findmypast Friday May 24th [2019<nowiki>]</nowiki>], now archived.</ref> It appears possible to search by regiment, which isn't possible in the original ICRC records. Some names have been transcribed incorrectly. As the original records were mainly typed, it has been suggested that inaccurate transcription may be due to automatic transcription by OCR (optical character recognition).
