Analysing the codes used
Determining the date/events and place of death if at all possible. (If applicable)
Giving an outline of the soldiers service and events leading up to death (If applicable) You have the option of purchasing a copy of the Honour Scroll for fallen soldiers, and the option of the Buckingham Palace letter overprinted with the soldiers details.

War Diary

There is an option of supplying you with the War Diary of the month of death or some enquirers opt to have an insight into daily life in the trenches even if their relative survived. The War Diaries which cover one month each were originally written up in pencil by an officer in a command trench approx 50/100yds behind the front line and are written in some detail. The fee is £40:00
My research assistant types them up from the pencil as they are to faint in many cases for normal reading, I do not normally send out images of the originals.
If your relative died in action or died of wounds, to really understand what events took place you need to order the War Diary option together with the WW1 report.
Please be aware that I reserve the option to quote from official regimental histories where I find that the Diary is not available.

 

oOo.
