From the Wigtownshire list: There is a new service from the 1837 online site which has the Englsih and Wales BMD searchable indices and through which the English and Welsh certificates can be ordered on line. This is a new service which is free to search and will contain Scottish soldiers as well and compliments the Commonwealth War Graves Commission site listing of War graves. This is the blurb they sent out with the Feb newsletter and the link to the search page is under the blurb. Quote Soldiers Died in the Great War Few families in Britain were untouched by the tragic events of the First World War (1914-1918). By 1918 over five and half million regular soldiers, volunteers and conscripts had served, but one man in eight never returned. These are the men who are memorialised in the latest addition to the 1837online.com site, 'Soldiers Died' found in the Military Records part of our site. This fully searchable database is taken from the original 1921 publication of the same name, published by His Majesty's Stationery Office. It covers over 703,000 names of soldiers and officers who were killed or died in the First World War, both at home and overseas. This dataset complements both the information held on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission's site, as it provides details of place of birth, enlistment and residence and other extra information, and 1837 online.com's own indexes of WW1 deaths which enable you to order the death certificate for any ancestor who died in the First World War. Searching the dataset is free, and provides you with the surname, forenames, place of birth and residence for all the soldiers who meet your criteria. To view all the information available for an individual will use ten units (costing between 50 pence and £1 depending on your price plan).
