Hello List There is now a UK Government search facility "Find a soldier's will" which says "Search for the will of a soldier who died while serving in the British armed forces between 1850 and 1986". https://www.gov.uk/probate-search#before-you-start There is no further information given but from information given at the time this project was announced, it appears it relates to 300,000 wills of soldiers killed in action from the Crimea period onwards, which were "wills completed by soldiers in their paybooks". The data does not include officers' wills. Cheers Maureen (Sydney)
