Hints for searching

Note: The first search is slow as sin, the subsequent ones are pretty darn quick (for an Access database)

The keyword search will try to find a match using the following fields

  • Soldier records
  • Awards and decorations (using the soldier as the base to display information)
  • Ranks and units (using the soldier as the base to display information)
  • War Diaries

Entering, for example "231270" will find Sergeant Hardie Currie's record, and the War Diary for the 10th Battalion for 11/11/1918 where he was mentioned.

Selecting the Search Type of "Any Words" will find records with any words that match the criteria. Not that this is flexible if you are not sure what you are looking for, but will return the most records.

Selecting the Search Type of "All Words" will find records with all words matching

Selecting the Search Type of "Exact Phrase " will find records with that combination of words.

Records per page will restrict the number of returned records on any single page.
