I have looked on several sites to do with the regiment that I know my relation was in, but when it comes to try and find a list of names, just to confirm, I am unable to do a trace. There seems to be no search for the people who served. Does anyone know how I can try and get around this. Anita, Oxfordshire

Hi, what time scale are you talking about? 1800's 1900's or present? For instance if they served in either WW1 or WW2 and died they would be on the CWGC site. Some records are available on the National Archives site. Medal cards can be downloaded and for certain periods and certain services you can order service records from there. Suzanne
