I remember it, was it the Oxford University one, I used it a lot as it had a lot of diaries and photos, and other war related info.

Thanks for all the suggestions - I haven't seen it yet.

I suspect it used the data from the CWGC so all war dead were there...

Was it the dedications page of the Tower of London site? The link is below but not sure if it will work now.

I don't think it's specifically a centenary one, but the Roll of Honour site has a poppy on it:

http://www.roll-of-honour.com/

Edit:
there's another site with a similar name - see reply #16

Are you sure you are not thinking of the Lives of the First World War project?

"This innovative digital project ran from 12 May 2014 to 19 March 2019. From individuals and families, to communities and organisations, more than 160,000 people collaborated to piece together the lives of people who experienced the conflict, through sharing anecdotes and digitising material that has been hidden away in attics until now."

Hi all

The IWM site is similar but doesn't seem to have those who died abroad...?

I'm amazed at the number of sites related to the Great War!!

Many thanks
