Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an expanded and updated edition of William Spencer's already excellent book, which is indispensible for anyone researching their ancesters who fought in the British army (it doesn't cover navy) and wants to go beyond the medal-cards and fatality records that can be easily viwed via Ancestry.
William Spencer has a thorough knowledge of the National Archives, and systematically describes the War Office archives available at Kew, and crucially gives the War Office WO reference numbers of each.
If you are serious about tracing British or Commonwealth soldiers in WW1 then this book, used in conjunction with Chris Baker's website "The Long Long Trail", will give you the best chance of achieving maximum results.
