I have some questions for you very knowledgable people. I am researching seven soldiers from my home town who were discharged through illness during the war and died shortly after. I found the pension records of only five of them on Ancestry. One of those I couldn't find was definitely pensioned off as his obituary says so. The other was demobbed then died of pneumonia shortly after so perhaps he wasn't in receipt of a pension. Of the other five, one of the records clearly has two pages missing. There were supposed to eleven but there were only nine though parts of the missing pages could be seen in the photographs. My question is will I have to view the original records in Kew to copy these pages or will they be on the microfilm copy (or is it fiche)? Though these records are very informative, will there also be records of these men in WO 363? Finally, I have a good digital camera and was wondering if they copy well from microfilm or fiche. Regards Peter

In at least one case I have found that Ancestry did not take me to the first page when I went to view a record. I therefore had to use the Prev button to go backwards through the pages of the service record until I got to the beginning. Could you let us have the details of these two men so we could have a look ourselves? Forrest -- Forrest Anderson, Edinburgh, Scotland.
