First world war archives of soldiers wills and final letters are now being made available to view online, for a fee of course!
Many letters did not make it back to the relatives as they did not pass the censorship, so these are also included.

This is part of a larger project making available all wills etc from the Boer War to the Falklands. You can search on the probate service here.

Hit a Brickwall? Have you lost all trace of someone? Do not despair, simply make a note they were abducted by aliens! Don't believe in aliens? No problem, just write them off as having disapeared in a time portal
