On the website of The Western Front Association, every day of the year we 'remember' a particular serviceman. Today, it is Private Alexander McNab. Using the WFA's pension records, we have expanded Alexander's story and for the first time we are able to see (using these records) that a total of THREE BROTHERS from the same family were killed in the war. This kind of cross-referencing would not be possible without the WFA's pension records. Alexander's story >>> https://bit.ly/2ObLgyn About the P

In a recent post a soldier from the 1st Northumberland Fusiliers was featured who was waving to the (cinemanphotographer's) camera and showing off a captured German helmet. The post said "...we will never know who the soldier with the wide smile is" --- but incredibly it may be the case that he has been identified. If anyone who follows this page is an expert in facial recognition, it may be possible that you can help confirm that the soldier, who we think is Private (later Sergeant, and later s

One of the very best - and most recent - personal accounts of the First World War is 'Joffrey's War' being the title given to the memoirs of Geoffrey Husbands ("Joffrey" of the title of the book - this was his nickname).
