Wdragon Posted 28 March , 2011 Share Posted 28 March , 2011 I recently discovered that there is another source of data on soldiers who died in the Great War. The National Army Museum (NAM) in Chelsea holds the register of soldiers effects from 1901 to 1960. They are not open to public access. The registers list deceased soldier's name, rank, unit, date of death, (sometimes place of death, name and address of next of kin and the sums of any monies that were sent to his NOK. A transcription of an entry (you must supply the name and date of death) costs £10.25, written application must be made to National Army Museum Royal Hospital Road Chelsea London SW3 4HT Somewhat expensive and a bit slow, but potentially a valuable source. If this is widely known (it certainly wasn't by me), I apologise for bothering you with this message. Regards David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if they have records for the disbanded Irish regiments there as well. Thanks momsirish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Baker Posted 31 March , 2011 Share Posted 31 March , 2011 They do not have records for regiments; they have them for individuals, and only for some of those who died. The effects records are very limited in what they tell you but are worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
