====WW1 Casualty Lists====
WW1 Casualty Lists were initially published on a daily basis in newspapers, but WO original lists no longer appear to exist. They were then published weekly by HMSO, as ''War Office Weekly Casualty List'' no.1-48 (7 Aug.1917 - 2 July 1918), and later as ''Weekly Casualty List (War Office & Air Ministry)'' no.49-83 (9 July 1918 - 4 March 1919), available at some libraries. Daily lists may be found in online newspaper databases such as ''The [London] Times Digital Archive'', for access see [[Miscellaneous tips#Access some subscription websites with a Library Card|Miscellaneous tips]], and ''The Scotsman'' in Scotland, the latter initially all casualties but later limited to Scots related.
