I've been sat here watching 4 hours of 24, my fiancee walks in from work with the News of the World newspaper. While flicking through it I noticed they are giving away one free download to commemorate Rememberance Sunday.

1. Log onto www.military-genealogy.com/freecredit
2. Register for free
3. Put the code "NOTW" in the promotion box
4. Search all records for free

Offer is valid until 19th November, 2006.

I hope this helps someone dig out some information.

Thanks Zeb

Just found the record of death of my great great uncle who died 1918 in the Somme.  Until last night I didn't even know he fought!

I looked for 3 grandfathers, 4 great uncles and a couple of other non-relatives I'm searching for in WWI - it failed to find a single one.

Thanks from me too, Zeb.

I have only one relly who died in the wars, so it wouldn't have been worth subscribing - but one free credit told me all I wanted to know :)
