Chaps,
I have been asked by a friend in the USA how to go about researching American soldiers of the Great War; ie, is there a National Archives website where you can download service records etc?
If you want to research an Australian soldier you can log in to www.naa.gov.au, enter the solders name or service number and download a complete scanned copy of his service record, usually 20-50 scanned pages. You can also download embarkation roles showing what ship individual soldiers, units and even reinforcement drafts sailed out on.
Can anyone help with the US equivalent?
Mike
