Maybe there was an announcement that I missed, but I found today a load more stuff on Ancestry.
National Roll of the Great War
Soldiers who died in the great war
UK medical registers
and I have a sub, so it's all free to me

They are interesting additions. However it appears the usual Ancestry inaccuracies are included in the price we pay.
I checked out the Soldiers Died section and it gives interesting places as the Theater of War where men fell ( it beats me why they will not use the British spelling from a British record).
Some local Gordons I checked are shown as Aldershot and Brough - Sic when the disc and original book shows F & F which is where thy are buried. Another man who died in the Dardanelles theatre is shown as Antwerp.
This appears to be a repeated throughout the Ancestry records.
I can look up any you want given a 2nd check from the disc data, send PM. _________________ Jim
