3. [WW1] Tracing my family [1]
Dear All I am currently tracing my family tree. So far I have found out that my grandfather (Charles Victor Nye) went to the Great War and fought at Ypres along with another theatre as far as I can tell. He survived to tell the tale, however, as like many he returned a broken man. I have a picture of him in his uniform, but no-one in my family can recall what regiment he was in or any other details as he did not like to discuss it. I believe he was in the machine gun corps, and as he hailed from Snargate

6. Re: [WW1] List Administrator please address this issue!!! Re: Dispute.....WW1 Nurses. [1]
Good day - list owner here. I appreciate concerns about the way this thread has developed, and I acknowledged that the guidelines have been transgressed, both of rootsweb as a whole and of this list in particular. However, as long-term members will know, I operate a largely hands-off policy. I do not run the list with an iron fist, nor to I expect it to be an extension of my own personality. Of course I will and do step in where needed but in my experience these things tend to burn themselves out. In t

8. [WW1] Any suggestions on the following would be gratefully received... [1]
Hello fellow listers, I was really hoping someone may have suggestions as to where I would be able to find out a little about the photos on the attached url. I know they were Australian, but if I knew what force they were in, or, rank they held we might have a better chance of identifying who these people are. If anyone has suggestions on books or urls that I might be able to look up I'd be extremely grateful. The two photos is question are on: http://hometown.aol.com/ginahammond/unknownww1.html Kind re

10. [WW1] Journal Names [1]
Hello List, Well, I have a partial list of names that I have managed to gather from my g grandfather's journal. Some were quite difficult to make out, some written in pencil that have faded drastically over time. I have done my best to be certain the spellings are correct. Even if a name looks similar to one you're researching it is possible I have made a spelling error. I thought I might just list the names instead of the full addresses etc. So if anyone recognizes a name don't hesitate to contact me. Or i

14. Re: [WW1] London Gazette [1]
Patrick - the "numbered" London Gazettes are generally 1919 issues (as was the "Peace Gazette") - PRO have a schedule which allows you to "translate" the number to a date without any problem - and there is in any case another way to find the entry. The MM index cards (also PRO) also give either a gazette date or the gazette number, but it doesnt matter which as either will take you to the correct volume. If you dont have the date or number to start with (maybe a "missing" index card - it does happen), then

16. [WW1] Australian GS Badge [1]
Listers - was speaking with an Australian today - he didn't have any personal association with the Australian Army but seemed fairly knowledgeable re their WWI service. One thing he told me (and I've scoured the books and cant see an answer one way or the other, from a reputable / definitive source at least) was that the Australian General Service Badge is not the Rising Sun, but is a "sheaf of swords". Anybody able to address that ? regards -- Tom Tulloch-Marshall Great War Military Research prosearch@bt

19. [WW1] Can anyone identify the uniforms in this photo? [1]
Hi folks: This may not be the right place to ask this, but could people please take a look at a postcard photo (so likely early 1900's) that belonged to my great grand uncle which shows several men in uniform posing with their familes, and let me know if they can identify the uniforms? Are they military, police (one of my ancestors was in the police)? The picture was likely taken in the Bradford, YKS area. Please go to http://members.home.net/klawry/ to have a look. Thank you in advance, Kathlee
20. Re: [WW1] Death certificates [1]
I have received two such certificates one for each of the World Wars. The WWI certificate gave "died of wounds" as the cause of death and place as France, probably intended to be short for France and Flanders, even though we know the death happened in Belgium, near Ypres, as the soldier is buried at Brandhoek Cemetery. It gave his unit as Machine Gun Corps but did not give the number. The CWGC has him as belonging to the 61st Machine Gun Company. The WWII certificate is for a sailor lost on a convoy in
