World War One Army Records Workshop
Did your ancestor serve in the army in World War I?, then this workshop will help.
The majority of records for the men and women who served in the Great War 1914-1918 are now online (though not everything) but what are they and where can you find them? Have you got stuck with your research into a serviceman and need advice? We will discuss what sort of records are available from medal rolls to operational records and where they are to be found, as well as how to interpret them.
Attendees are encouraged to bring their own research questions to the session and also to share electronic copies of documents and images they would like to discuss.
Pre-booking is required because places are limited. Bookings close one day before the event.
To be able to join this online course, you will need a computer device which has speakers and a microphone. Ideally, also a webcam. You need to be able to access your emails from this device. First-time users will be asked to download a small piece of software, this will be sent to you in advance. Technical help is available for those who need further assistance, please contact booking@berksfhs.org.uk
