Hi Everyone Can someone please tell me where to find WW1 Records in England. I'm looking for a cousin who served in WW1 and was killed in the war. His name is Horace STARR from Cambrideshire England, the family were living in Foxton Cambridge. Horaces's Dad's name is John Starr and they are on the 1911 Census in Foxton. Any help very much appreciated hoping to find some relatives over there one day. Kind regards Dianna
