forces war records

[comfort]

hi
I have not as yet paid to go on the forces war records
I see they have a Richard kilner  in the Yorkshire light infantry
year 1915
he was my great uncle also his brother harry kilner in the same year
I know they both  died in 1915,
can anyone tell me what sort of record would I get if I paid to get it,
any help would be appreciated
thank you
patricia.

There has been a lot of complaints about the site FWR as people sign up and pay then find out the information is already available elsewhere. I would suggest to tread carefully and read all the fine print before doing anything with the FWR site.

You could always post any querys you may have on your 2 great uncles and see what members can find.

Around 70% of WW1 records were destroyed in the Blitz in WW2.
