It's nice but the Commonwealth War Graves Commission site www.cwgc.org seems
to give a lot more personal information about individuals such as full first
names, name of regiment etc.

Almost by accident, I watched the last part of an interesting programme on
Channel 4 on Sunday afternoon. It's called Lost Generation: "90 years ago a
whole generation had their lives, loves, hopes and dreams annihilated on the
battlefields of the First World War. Lost Generation offers an opportunity
to turn those long lists of names of the fallen back into real people with
real desires and potential, to understand their world and celebrate their
astonishing stories."

One thing that caught my attention was the mention of a new database of War
Memorial Inscriptions that is searchable by name of the fallen. I had a
quick look and it seems quite comprehensive, with all sorts of relevant
links. Here is the website for those interested.
