A major new project to 'find' soldiers who served in WW1

11 February 2020

We are excited to announce a project which will massively assist present and future generations of historians searching for servicemen who lost their lives in the First World War.

An unknown number of men (but likely to be up to 10,000) may have been killed whilst serving using an alias. These soldiers are currently difficult to locate, but the WFA's "Project ALIAS" aims to remedy this.

Please see the full article on the WFA web site about Project ALIAS via this link
