    1. WW1 Records
    2. Chris & Caroline
    3. This came via our Royal Signals group list and thought it might affect some of you Chris and Caroline A word of warning for those of you who want to look up the newly released medal records from WW1. I have tried it this morning and found my Mum's uncle. It was a very trying process because, even though I have one of his medals here complete with name, rank and number, it took me a few goes to find the record. Once you find the record, you have to purchase a copy of the record card to see the details. It is only £3.50 but, after going through the RBS "Checkout" procedure, the process fails. I saw a notice saying the payment was processed and giving a receipt number. The next step is supposed to be the server sends you an email with the receipt and a link you can go to to download the record. Well, as the server fails at the "send email" step, that never arrives. Giving it the benefit of the doubt, I tried again (after writing a mail whingeing about the failure). Guess what? Correct! It fails again! So, if any of you are thinking about using the service, I would hang on for a day or two until they get it sorted. --- All of our outgoing mail is checked and certified Virus Free by regularl updates Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
