 I received this information from Findmypast today:

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



There are over 200 years of new records to discover.

Although Remembrance Day has passed, we're continuing to spotlight the sacrifices of your heroic ancestors with new and updated military records covering 224 years.

This week there are 512,275 additions from Britain and the British Empire, including promotions, medals and service records.

We've also added a new title - the West Lancashire Evening Gazette - to our newspaper collection.

Stretching back to the First World War, this new set contains the names of over 320,000 recipients of prestigious awards like the British Empire Medal (BEM) and the Knight Grand Cross of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (GBE) from 1917 to 2023.

This week's second new set is comprised of 182,000 British military promotion records from the early 19th century.

We also added 8,025 British service records, with additions for the Scots Guards, the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment and the York Light Infantry.
