WW1 Images site
 

Hi Guys and Gals,

I believe I already posted this link in the past, but in case not, here it is. I've spent a long time browsing the images. TONS of them ... don't forget when you choose an album there is also a link to more pages of that album ;)

I never know when I might come upon an important (to me and my family) photo or something else, so I persist, and in the persisting I learn about all sorts of things and other people ... they all come to life for me in the viewing and reading!

Wow ... O live the internet combined with this drive in people to research and share their research about people and events of days gone by. What a wonderful WONDERFUL thing we have goin' on ....... :cheers:

the image to go with that link:

Here is another link for WW1 images. Whats wonderful is that there are NAMES!!! Most images look to be from newspaper clippings.

I didn't scroll through all of the pages of images but all the photos on the first page seems to be mostly with men from KINGSTON area ... so if your father or Grandpa, other relatives from Kingston area served ... maybe you'll find a photo of them? I hope someone does!

CBC
 

Tonight on CBC there's a special on the CEF. SO far it's not bad....

Re: CBC
 

I've been intensively researching 5 CEF relatives, 4 Fallen, the last while. Amazing history, amazing and disturbing/haunting images and stories I'm coming across. I've made quite a bit of headway in finding out where they all served and where my Viznaugh's (and Vizena's all related) died : :salute: :remember

I haven't forgotten your family Black Watch soldier Geoff and am still always looking out for anything or anyone that can help identify him. The internet is an amazing networking of people searching and helping each other.

One of the things I enjoy doing since I have nothing but time, and am home all the time, is doing a little searching for people looking for information. Sometimes I get really lucky and even am able to help people find out something solid about their relatives, or point them somewhere that helps, when they don't have the time to search. Makes me feel useful ... and good ... especially when so many people have gone out of their way to help me in my own research. Mark stands out as someone who has helped me most and best of course ;)

WW1 Courts-Martials
 

Hi Guys and Gals,

I'm wondering of someone can tell me what WW1 offences this might refer to:

Courts-Martials:

Offences: Sections 6 (1b), 40

I've been googling like crazy and not coming up with anything telling me what these "sections" are or refer to, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You!

Karmen

Re: WW1 Courts-Martials
 

Hi Karmen
I did a bit of digging online at www.nationalarchives.gov.uk and found that Section 40 is - Section 40 (Conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline) as a generalisation in a case of the 1940's - I believe this is the 'catch all' as we knew it - ie:if they can't get you on something else they'll sucker you with this one!!!!
Cheers

Thanks a lot for checking for me Malcolm :cheers:

Someone elsewhere recently pointed out the help area for that section of Archivianet to me and they do explain some things about interpreting the records and such (it lists some of the sections and what offences they covered) For those interested, there is a link to search the site if you want to search a name or regimental number:
