Today is the 25th so it's my day to contribute a bi-monthly post to
Worldwide Genealogy -- A Genealogical Collaboration. We're a group of global genealogy and family history bloggers so I try to write about topics with wide appeal. I thought what I've been learning about researching British soldiers during World War I might be such a topic. I had to go back to "school," so to speak before I succeeded in learning much.
Unfortunately, records about their service are spotty at best. German bombers struck the War Ministry repository in 1940. More than half of the military service records pertaining to World War I were destroyed.

I hope you'll click over to my
post and read about what I've learned and what resources I use.
