Searching for your UK Military Ancestor
The documents giving details of regular soldier's careers during the 19th and early 20th centuries until the First World War are held at the Public Record Office.
The principal records are the soldier's Discharge Papers for those soldiers discharged with a pension. They are classified under WO.97. (The papers for those discharged without a pension were destroyed by fire many years ago). To find the papers for your ancestor, you must search in the period of his discharge.
