"if you knows a better 'ole then go to it"
An excellent interesting site, takes up much of my on line time. Tom has
been a great help to me, a genuine nice bloke, the site is excellent.
I am a proud member of the Western Front Association. This is their site
check it out .If you are viewing from abroad, why not join, the journal "Stand
to" is worth the membership fee on it's own. The motto is remembering, my
interpretation of this is of both sides of the wire.
STEVE
MCGARRY'S SITTINGBOURNE REMEMBERS SITE 
Steve is a fellow Man of Sittingbourne so we have a great deal in Common, he has gone to great lengths to perpetuate the memory of the men from that part of Kent and the site is continually evolving. I support this site and it gives a good snapshot of a couple of communities.
John is one of my mates with many common interests. This site is dedicated to the RND and men of Barnsley predominantly. For those who have seen my article on Jack Clegg, Jack is Johns Great Uncle. There are many excellent articles.
The Commonwealth Wargraves Commission
This is the homepage of the CWGC, the respect I have for this organisation and it's work has no limit, the professionalism and standards are second to none in my opinion
This is another of John Morcombes sites This site shows some of the results of research which highlights inconsistencies in the official data. I do not endorse some of its aims, but it should be noted that all records are not perfect and the CWGC has many errors which can be either papered over and ignored, or addressed open and honestly. I will leave you to peruse and make your mind up.
This group of men have attracted a great deal of flak. I am of the belief that good battlefield archeology is now vital to our understanding of WW1, with the battlefields dissappearing under concrete, the activity of this group is commendable. Look at the evidence on the site and make up your own mind. Unusually for me I will state openly that i support these men and hope people can be broadminded enough to see the evidence before they condemn. These men are in no way connected to the numerous grave robbers that populate France.
This is the address for the site which you
can look up and down load attestation papers for members of the CEF.
Steve Metcalfe's
Northallerton Memorial Project
This is another good UK site from another WFA member who has researched the local memorials in his area, lot's of lessons to be learnt here. Well worth a look especially if you are going to look up your local memorial
Mike Rodens website- I'm pleased to report another British site.
It's new and constantly expanding. I liked what I have seen so far so check

The Public Records Office
I keep refering to the PRO in many of my articles, the link is here,
SWAVENSEY IN THE GREAT WARThis
is Phil Curmes site. It goes into detail about the men of this tiny hamlet that
died in the Great War. I can relate to this as I have looked at the Kent equivalents.
Michael Duffy's WW1 site-
Michael contacted me to set

disappearing, or becoming decrepid. Please look and support.
Jonathan has got a website, I have listed him as a reliable researcher in the
British archives. Many have asked me for help in finding lost relatives, here
is the man who can, also with new papers available, ever fancied getting the service
papers of a famous officer, Sassoon or Owen???
The official website of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines, this is a very polished PR site telling us more about the modern Royal Navy and Marines
