Also blocked by F-Secure - tried on both Chrome and ie11.  I was able to access it previously when I had McAfee.

Thanks for reporting this.

Sorry, I am certainly impressed with what you have done and did not mean to divert attention from it.
 
I was just taking the opportunity of bringing the other site to peoples attention as well as many people are unaware of it ;)

No need to apologise, Rosie, and Lives of the Frist Wolrd War is certainly worth promoting. I have been a registered user there since its inception and they have built up a significant archive.

Imperial War Museum also has a similar site
https://livesofthefirstworldwar.org/

Whilst I'm flattered that you should put my site in the same category as the IWM, Lives of the First World War covers only the First World War (and encourages the building of profiles and communities). My site covers the period from 1850, the 'simple' aim being to create a resource which in time will become the go-to place for people looking for a photograph of their British Army ancestors.

Re my message about this being a dangerous site. I was using Chrome as my search engine. My Nortons is up to date. As I said, if I use Bing then Nortons lets me access the site. Beyond my IT skills. Not a problem tho, I will just use a different search engine to Chrome when I need to visit the site. Cheers.

That's puzzling. Chrome is my default browser and the default browser of many, I suspect. I don't have any issues when I access the site. Thanks for the info though which I will report. Maybe it's the certificate from a rival security provider that Norton objects to. Who knows?

Update your Norton software?

The site is secure. Read the address bar; look at the McAfee Secure watermark on the bottom of each page.

Hello everyone. I am the British Army Ancestors site owner. My name is Paul Nixon and my motiviations for creating the site appear on the ABOUT page:

https://britisharmyancestors.co.uk/about-us/

What you can and can't upload is explained on the FAQ page:

https://britisharmyancestors.co.uk/faq/

No medal index cards or service record images please as these are copyright Ancestry and TNA respectively. The site is aimed at providing a resource for British Army photographs but at the moment it is a fledgling operation. This is also explained on the site.

The site is secure and has SSL certification. It is also free to use. If you click on the blue buttons that encourage you to upload a medal index card or service record you will be taken to TNA or Findmypast respectively and you will need to pay to view those images.

Paul Nixon
