British Army Service Records
This essential military collection has been enhanced with over 89,000 records from the Coldstream Guards, spanning from 1800-1947. A Coldstream Guards enlistment register including the soldiers' service numbers, dates and places of birth and occupations.
Royal Engineers Journals 1939-1945
This unique collection is formed from The Royal Engineers Journal, a private newspaper that was converted into a journal and supplement in magazine form. In it, you can discover what life was like for anyone who served with the Royal Engineers during the Second World War.
Royal Air Force, Operations Record Books 1939-1945
We’ve added over 65,000 transcripts that provide a daily record of events within each RAF squadron during the Second World War. These operation record books can be used to create a list of all the flying operations that RAF aircrew completed during the war. They are also an excellent resource for compiling a record of a squadron's operations.
British Royal Air Force, Combat Reports 1939-1945
We've released over 30,000 transcripts for combat reports that were filled out by RAF pilots or air gunners after they had encountered enemy aircraft on operational flights.
