Louise Luckily my grandfather was called ANGUS WILLIAMS and I found him easily in the medals index at Kew, but I wanted to find his brothers - all I knew were their first names - there were tons of CHARLES and several HERBERTS, so without any other details I had no idea which was who. nell |

There is no way really, unless you already know their regiment or number. Try to get as much info from living relatives as you can to narrow down the options. You get 6 index cards on each page by the way, so you are getting other people's too. If you are looking for a common name, it could be quite difficult. I downloaded my grandfather's record - if you want to see what they look like, send me a message with your email address in & I will forward it to you when I get home this evening. Carole |
