Book

Whether you are interested in the career of an individual officer, researching medals awarded to a soldier or just want to know more about a particular battle or campaign, this book will point you in the right direction. Assuming that the reader has no prior knowledge of the British army; its history or organization, Simon Fowler explains which records survive, where they can be found and how they can help you in your research. He also describes resources available online as well as books and campaign histories.

Simon Fowler is a leading authority on family history and a prolific writer on the subject. He is editor of the National Archives' family history
magazine Ancestors and a former editor of Family History Monthly. In addition to his experience as a writer and lecturer on family history, he has long been interested in military history, particularly in the lives of ordinary soldiers and officers. His many books include Tracing Your First World War Ancestors, The Joy of Family History and Army Records for Family Historians (wish William Spencer).
