I'm stuck with them until the end of January next year. 

I got the dreaded email last night while I was busy getting some newspaper items before I got downgraded. Logged in this morning and did exactly the same search and went from 106 items to 3 (2 of which are irrelevant as well!) but at least now I know there are over 15 million other newspaper items around the world with the same phrase.

I've emailed asking for a refund and a request they stop making themselves look stupid by using words like "improved" and "easier" but I suspect that if I ever get an answer it will be January 2015 by the time they wade through the many emails they must be  getting.

And, mentioned earlier but worth repeating, go to My Account > Personal Details and even if you don't uncheck the auto-renew option, make sure the option to allow data sharing with Google is cleared. It may claim to be anonymised but I don't trust Google and I now no longer trust FindMyPast.

Findmypast are quoting this month for the release of records for men discharged 1900 to 1913.

Unfortunately, that has changed (again) 

It is now "by August"

Hi Marc

His service documents include his discharge documents. They were all kept together. The NA information of 40% survival is wrong. In the official report of what was destroyed - available for download from the NA for £3.50 - they quote 1.25 million saved out of 6.5 million, which is less than 20%. A few extra % come from other files (the so-called 'pension' files on Ancestry) but nowhere near another 20%. So you should be grateful for what you have.

And there is always PIN 26 if you are feeling really lucky.

Save the £3.50 and look here

Thank you for a fascinating photograph. It is amazing as Phil said.

Here is a photograph of the AIF Cemetery at Flers (undergoing restoration when I visited last year) where William is buried.
