To commemorate WWI, the Guild of One-Name Studies, in cooperation with the Imperial War Museum, will be holding a series of digital events designed to document the lives of the millions of soldiers and civilians who lost their lives.
2014 – 2018 marks the Centenary of the First World War, which will be commemorated in Britain and the rest of the world. Claiming the lives of over ten million soldiers and millions of civilian lives, everyone has a connection with the First World War, either through our own family history, the heritage of our local communities or because of its long-term impact on society and the world we live in today.
As the worldwide centre of excellence in surname studies, members of the Guild of One-Name Studies research nearly 8,500 names and have a wealth of stories about the individuals who served in the First World War.
This platform enables Guild members to document the stories from their research, whether from their One-Name Study or beyond, from soldiers serving in the trenches to accounts relating to civilian life during the First World War. These stories are available to be read by all and are searchable by name or other known facts to filter the stories of particular interest. Unfortunately, no one who fought in this conflict is still alive today and so no details of living people are displayed on this site.
