Pretty cool bit of research...


The website is the product of a research project by Professor Anne Curry of the University of Southampton and Dr Adrian Bell of the University of Reading.

The bbc article. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8160081.stm

The soldier database

http://www.icmacentre.ac.uk/soldier/database/


The project has an innovative methodological approach and will be producing an on-line searchable resource for public use of immense value and interest to genealogists as well as social, political and military historians. The project employs two Research Assistants over three years and also includes one Doctoral Research Studentship - all of whom began work on 1st October 2006. The whole team is working on a jointly authored book, conference papers, and articles.

A pilot project database is now available for searching.


Cool stuff.

Not from this, being that I'm only a quarter English if you go back a few generations.

Some of my Maltese ancestors were (well) hung by Nepoleon though. Fuck... I really hate the French.
