Senseless indeed; on one branch of my tree two brothers died just 8 days apart. Their poor mother.....like so many.  :'(

My wider family got off lightly in both world wars. Most were age expired or in reserved occupations. In WWII, my fathers brother was RAF and lost in August 1940. My father was a boffin, and although he volunteered he was not allowed to join up. In March 1942 he had two patents, one for improved self sealing fuel tanks in aircraft, the other for self sealing battle dress as proof against mustard gas!!!

Can you upload medal card or does that infringe copyright?

Think that's a question for the site, sorry.

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.

Update your Norton software?

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