Announcing the launch of FREE member access to the digitised Pension Records

5 December 2018

We are delighted to announce that WFA members can freely access the Pension Records via the WFA web site.

Had The Western Front Association not stepped in to save the six million or more records they would have been destroyed by the Ministry of Defence.

Currently a little over a third of the entire archive has been digitised. More will be published during the course of 2019.

To access these, visit > Pension Records

This access is available via a 'Member Login'.

Members who do not know their login details can easily undertake a password reset - to do this simply click password reset and enter the email address held by the WFA office.

Below is a brief video which gives tips on how to access the digitised records on Fold3
