Find Britain’s soldiers and sailors all over the globe
In 1911 the British Empire was nearing the peak of its powers. The empire, which was the largest in history, spanned much of the globe, and the overseas military records from the 1911 census – which include both military establishments and Royal Navy ships overseas – reflect this. Soldiers can be found in such disparate locations as Cyprus, Hong Kong, Malta, India and South Africa, as well as in other places not within the empire, such as Alexandria in Egypt and Tientsin in China.
... so hopefully you should be able to find who you are looking for!
Thanks Elaine, from that I assume that he is somewhere in the census,
Do you know if there is a special area to search or is it just a case of put his name in and it comes up, (if only it was that simple)
