New WFA website format
This is the first re-iteration of the WFA's website platform since 2008, and newly launched in January 2015.
It uses a completely new platform based upon the Twitter Bootstrap framework. It is powered by a dedicated server, with faster responses. The new site will introduce a number of finding aids, including the use of tags. Content display is being developed, so the new layout is still a work in progress.
On a website of several thousand pages, please use Search (above) to locate the content you wish to find.
Please report any issues to the Digital Editor.

A LITTLE ABOUT THE WFA
The Western Front Association (WFA) was formed with the aim of furthering interest in The Great War of 1914-1918. We also aim to perpetuate the memory, courage and comradeship of all those on all sides who served their countries in France and Flanders, and their own countries, during The Great War.
