Hi Anna

Thanks for reminding us of this resource which has been mentioned on here before.

The probate service has about 300,000 of these so quite a small number when you think how many men served.

I thought that it might have been mentioned before, but wasn't sure.  It doesn't hurt to be reminded!

Sorry   ???

No need to apologise, it's a timely reminder with the WW1 commemorations this year.
