Findmypast changed their "What's New" page in September from an article listing new record collections and new or updated newspapers to highlights of the new record collections.
The most recent new record collections include:
British Armed Forces First World War Pensions Award Files -- Delve into this fascinating collection of First World War pension records from The National Archives, drawn from the PIN 26 series. These representative case files document war pension awards and offer valuable insights into the lives of those affected by war. The collection includes records relating to serving men and officers, dependants, widows, nurses, and members of the Navy, Air Force, and mercantile services. Rich in personal detail, these records can help uncover the war's lasting impact on individuals and their families.
British Army Service Records -- Discover your ancestors among more than 8.1 million documents about the British Army between 1760 and 1939. Find officers and other ranks in 17 different sets of records from The National Archives and the Scots Guards. The records can tell you when your ancestor joined and left the army, as well as details about where he came from and his military service.
Military Service Memorial Collection -- Have you ever wondered where your military ancestor is memorialised? Whether they fell in battle or returned home, this remarkable collection can help you discover how they were remembered by their community. This growing archive includes over 100,000 photographs and records from more than 4,000 memorials across the UK, the former British Empire, and Allied nations. You’ll find war graves, rolls of honour, and books of remembrance, including thousands of memorials from both World Wars. It also features tributes to police officers and victims of terrorism, offering a broader view than many official registers. Whether you're tracing your family’s wartime story or seeking hidden connections, this collection invites you to delve into the past and uncover the legacy of your military ancestors.=========================================
