Updates on Blog

The journey continues…

The organization taken to create some form of record keeping and organization for the soldiers’ information has paid off dividends. I have tried to be more consistent in formatting the pages of the soldiers entered into the blog and have also tried to maintain this consistency with the inclusion of the Attestation Papers but also the information derived from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission site by including the Grave Registration Reports, Registers, and the Headstone Schedules.

The database is being updated (there are still 169 soldiers’ records to add) from those pages created previously to the implementation of the Microsoft Access database. As these records are re-reviewed it gives an opportunity to check sources and content and update them accordingly. Approximately 10 soldier’s pages have been included in the database with updates being implemented in approximately 40% of the entries, primarily soldiers who where killed in action.
