St Albans WW1
The Great War Records were damaged during World War Two so incomplete. With just the bare minimum of information I have tried to identify these soldiers. My main source of reference was all categories of Ancestry.co.uk; others I have listed below each soldier. There is some where I have been unable to identify one man, so put the information of both of them. Others there are too many of similar names to choose from. Where I am uncertain I have put question mark.
The information may help in tracing your family during a time of great conflict. I hope the information is correct and if you are reading it and have any information which will help I would like to hear from you. I would like to thank the staff of Warrington Library and Museum for their patience and help with my research.
