Britain, First World War Campaign Medals
This week's biggest addition comes in the form of a brand-new collection of British First World War Campaign Medals, containing a grand total of 6,527,684 detail-rich records.
This set of transcriptions contains the names of millions of men and women who were awarded campaign medals for overseas service in the First World War. From RAF personnel to medical volunteers and labourers, all manner of heroic stories are contained within this fascinating set.
With women's names also included, this collection enables us to fully understand the sacrifices made by all members of society - even those who didn't serve as soldiers on the front.
