Findmypast Friday: Thousands of New and Exclusive Military Records Added

 I received this information from Findmypast today:

==========================================


Thousands of new and exclusive military records added this Findmypast Friday 


British Army, Honourable Artillery Company, Cardew-Rendle Roll Of Members 1537-1908 


This new collection is a directory of biographies for 17,000 members of the Honourable Artillery Company, covering nearly four centuries. As the oldest British Army regiment, it received its royal charter from Henry VIII in 1537. Details you’ll find will vary from entry to entry, from birth year and residence to remarkable events and great deeds. 

British Army, Honourable Artillery Company Journal 1923-2021 

 The first issue of this journal was published in 1923, and documented events and activities of the regiment. Make good use of the optional keyword search field here to find mentions of your ancestor, or key events in this regiment’s history. 

British Army, Coldstream Guards 1800-1981 

 Another 48,477 records have been added to this existing collection, which includes records for the oldest continuously serving regiment in the British Army. The new records cover attestation books, discharges, casualties and more. You'll normally find a rank, regimental number and an event year for your ancestor.
