Enjoy a 50% discount on “Family History in the Wars” now at just $4.00! Uncovering your ancestors’ military experiences can profoundly impact your understanding of your family history. The painful narratives of war can be difficult for families to process; sometimes loved ones didn’t return home or chose not to share their stories. Now, you have a chance to tap into these untold narratives with the help of military records. These documents can offer surprising insights into your ancestors’ lives, especially during wartime.
If your ancestors, or their descendants, served in the British Army, Royal Navy, Royal Air Force, Merchant Navy or in a civilian capacity within these organizations, their service records can be found at the National Archives. “Family History in the Wars” is an invaluable guide to these records.
Published by the Archives, it provides the necessary tools and knowledge to research military records from 1899 to 1953. This period spans numerous conflicts, including both World Wars, the Boer War, the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Korean War, and others. Understanding the theater and regiment in which one served, having information about any medals received, and other such details can expedite your research process.
This guide also offers chapters packed with tips, techniques, and invaluable advice about researching topics such as nursing units, prisoner-of-war files, casualty lists, medals, and awards. For your copy, reach out to Family Roots Publishing; the guide’s stock number is TNA06. It retails for $8.00 but is currently available for half the price at $4.00.
