Name: Soldiers' Effects Records, 1901-60; NAM Accession Number: 1991-02-333

Title: Army Registers of Soldiers' Effects, 1901-1929

Description: Army Registers of Soldiers' Effects 1901-1929 Records detailing the money owed to soldiers of the British Army who died in service from 1901 to 1929. Records typically include the name of the soldier, his next of kin and their relationship, the date of death and sometimes the place, plus other details. In cases where the soldier was discharged as insane, the place and date of discharge are often recorded in the place and date of death field. The inclusion of the next of kin makes these records particularly valuable to family historians, as this information can help researchers take a family back another generation or distinguish between soldiers with the same name. Early records also list a soldier’s trade before enlistment.
