Free Access to Ancestry All Military Records This Week (General)

Hi all,
sorry for posting a bit late, but today I received an email newsletter from Ancestry advising they're offering free access "to more than 30 million military records. Find out where your family fought, the experiences they had and the places they had them. Free access to service records, medal cards, casualty lists and much more."

Access to the records in the featured collections will be free from NOW until midnite of Thursday 9th August, 2018.

Use this link to start, best opened in a new tab or window

As well as WW1 the list of available collections include both earlier and later ones, including WW2 POW lists for example. The full list is here

In the usual manner any new users will need to register their name and email address beforehand, but nothing more and no requests for payment, unless you stray away from the free datasets when using Ancestry website. Registering will also mean you'll receive occasional and useful newsletter emails advising of events such as this, or informational research guides, and so on, but no spam.

Hoping this helps, Jeff.
