Rich new military records launched by findmypast.co.uk

findmypast.co.uk has announced the launch of four sets of nineteenth and twentieth century military records. The records provide useful detail including attestation and leaving dates, achievements made in service and soldiers' physical appearence. And, certainly in the case of the 1861 records, the records can fill in gaps left by the census. The releases are the 1861 Worldwide Army Index, Royal Fusiliers Collection 1863-1905, Paddington Rifles 1860-1912 and Surrey Recuitment Registers 1908-1933
