  1. I tried this site and on some records they have little more than cwgc but they do have collections Ive not seen anywhere else as well. So if its military records youre after, I would happily recommend this site.

  2. Hi Guys, we're happy to say that all feedback is received with good grace.

    I have redesigned a sources and collections page akin to other leading sites which will be launched very soon.
    Hopefully (if it remains unchanged by the technical team!)ormation within that set and the number of individual names within that also, along with all important original source info.
    Hopefully this will go a long way to allowing searchers to be assured this is a professional site and more importantly it's a site that listens and takes action when constructive feedback is given.
