Finding Out About A Particular Soldier

Army Personnel Centre
The APC holds personnel service records from post First World War up to the present day. Second World War records are still confidential and access is restricted to next of kin, and some information such as medical records or courts martial details will not be released.  

The National Archives
The National Archives contain a wealth of material relating to the Army. You are strongly advised to visit their website which has a lots of information and advice about researching individual soldiers as well as campaigns and battles.

Commonwealth War Graves Commission
The CWGC maintains war graves around the world and provides basic details, from computerised records, of those buried in CWGC graves, or listed on CWGC memorials. You can visit their web site and look up names for yourself.

Ministry of Defence Army Medal Office
This site is for information on medal entitlement and claims only. They do not act as a historical research centre regarding individuals but their website provides good general information about entitlement and the history of medals from the Second World War onwards.

Norfolk Record Office
There are some records for the Norfolk Militia and Volunteers and various miscellaneous documents relating to local soldiers during the war years.

Norfolk Heritage Centre
There is a good collection of First World War portrait photographs of Norfolk servicemen.
