Accrington 1918 Absent Voters List

http://www.pals.org.uk/avl/

As the result of an Act of Parliament passed on 6th February 1918, servicemen over the age of 21 became eligible to vote in their home constituency. The first so-called Absent Voters List (AVL) was published on 15th October 1918 and was compiled from details supplied by the men themselves before the closing date for applications of 18th August 1918.

The Long Long Trail

http://www.1914-1918.net/index.htm

The Long, Long Trail cuts through myth and misinformation to present the facts of the British Army in the First World War : a tribute to the men and women who fought and won - and to the million who died trying.

This excellent site helps both the family historian trying to find out more about a man or woman who served in the war or the military historian wanting to find out about the organisation of the army or the movements and actions of British units
