FindmyPast updates Royal Engineers database

FindmyPast (www.findmypast.co.uk) has updated two of its millitary collections:

British Army, Royal Engineers 1900-1949

We’ve completed this collection by adding over 130,000 more tracer card records. Most of them cover World War 2.

Tracer cards document a soldier's movements within and between regiments. You'll find lots of abbreviations written on the original records as you explore them. See the record set search page for an explanation of some of the most common ones.


British Army Service Records

This must-search military resource has expanded again with the arrival of over 6,000 new Chelsea Pensioners’ discharge documents.

These discharge papers are some of the oldest records in this vast collection, helping you trace your military ancestor's life and career way back to the 18th century.
