MickLeeds Posted 2 October , 2012 Share Posted 2 October , 2012 Just added on the new records section today on Ancestry: "The Great War 1914-18 Magazine, Thirteen volumes, text, pictures, plates and maps comprising approximately 27,000 entries". Covers 7717 pages on the website, its not searchable in the usual Ancestry way but can be browsed using the index available on the first pages. To find it either look in the new records section on the homepage or Search > Stories, Memories & Histories > Military Histories. Mick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinBattle Posted 2 October , 2012 Share Posted 2 October , 2012 Thanks! Well spotted and no doubt someone will soon report how useful it might be, and if it adds more useful information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickLeeds Posted 2 October , 2012 Author Share Posted 2 October , 2012 Although Ancestry calls it "The Great War 1914-1918 Magazine" on the first chapter the title is, "The Great War - The Standard History Of The All Europe Conflict - Edited by H W Wilson".

tharkin56 Posted 2 October , 2012 Share Posted 2 October , 2012 about two years ago brought the volume for £25 there is a lot of nice photos in their at the back for the roll of honours for each year. Index isn't great if you want to find articles on certain towns. i.e photos of northampton but not in index. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kate Wills Posted 22 October , 2012 Share Posted 22 October , 2012 Good to have, but unless you have the patience of Job almost useless for researchers in it current format. Couldn't they have loaded each volume as an idividual collection to enable searching for individual articles via page numbers. Wake up Ancestry!!
