Even though some of these records may now be available through the internet, this book is still of use to researchers based in, or able to visit, the United Kingdom.

''First World War army service records : a guide for family historians''. 4th ed. Kew: The National Archives, 2008
This invaluable guide to locating information on ancestors who served in WW1 has been expanded and updated to refer to many resources which are now available online. The primary source is still the National Archives (TNA) at Kew in England, where in addition to the more obvious Records of Service (British Army officers and other ranks, RAF, WAAC, auxiliary and nursing services) are those of the Indian Army and Dominion Forces. This directs the family historian to a possible treasure trove of records, including those for medals and awards, prisoners of war, unit war diaries and maps.
