World War One / Year 8 World War 1 History Project
« on: Tuesday 25 March 14 12:21 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone.
My daughter is 12 years old and is doing a WW1 history project at school. Through my research we know that one member of our family was killed in the first world war. We have been on the CWGC website and we also have his medal record card.
She spoke to her teacher and she suggested that she contact the Royal Field Artillery museum to see if she could get any other information. We had an email back this morning, basically directing us to the National Archives and Ancestry.
Can anyone suggest what our next steps should be? As this is homework, I'm a bit unsure on spending lots of money on it.
I did try to look at the National Archives to see how much his record would be (if it exists) and I got a bit lost in there!!!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
His details were :
Acting Bombardier Herbert Webb
67123, 135th Bty, 32nd Bde, Royal Field Artillery.
Aubigny Communal Cemetery Extension
