British Armed Forces, First World War Soldiers' Medical Records
Over 2,000 new records have been added to this unique collection. This collection comprises The National Archives’ series, MH106, War Office: First World War Representative Medical Records of Servicemen. Only a sample of the original medical records was retained.

Britain, Royal and Imperial Calendars 1767-1973
We’ve added over 1.2 million records to this unique collection of records from The National Archives. These records provide a valuable resource for tracing the whereabouts and careers of persons employed in various posts in Britain's public sphere from the 1800s to 1973. As quoted in the 1809 Calendar, it contains; "accurate lists of all the official departments of state, and branches of public service; the law; the church; national or commercial companies and institutions; and many additional articles of public utility." The later calendars from the 20th century evolved to include the Civil Service List and additional departments such as Home Office and Treasury.
