Hi I am trying to find out anything possible about my Grandads involvement in both the first and second world wars as I believe he was involved in both in some capacity . He was discharged on 24.10.1919 and as I said was involved also in the second ww and his name is Charles Henry Field born in Birmingham in 1900.

The second part is his brother Frederick Field who as legend has it fought in the first ww but died of flu.....anything on him , any bit of info would be brilliant as this is all I have on either of them....thanks in advance everyone.

:rolleyes:
 
Ancestry.co.uk is having a freebie to search and view their military records for the month of November.

Hi....I looked at ancestory uk free trial but it wants card details and if you should forget to cancel then it takes the membership from your card.....so im stuffed...help.
 
Um, no.

Go to the home page.

Scroll down to the link to "Military"

Click on to (for example) British Army WWI Medal Rolls

Enter the name of the ancestor

Click on search

Enter your name and email address

Deselect the bit for promos, select the bit for "I agree" and enter.

Hi ...he was in the Royal Air Corps....but dont know if his brother Frederick Field was army or Royal Air Corps....I need clarifiacation on both men pleaseeeee.....:)
 
Ancestry does not have air force records unfortunately - only army.

Follow the steps in post 5 and you will be able to research for yourself without providing any credit card details.
 
Presuming you mean Royal Flying Corps, then yes they are in the AIR document series at the National Archives and not online.
