Here are links to other websites that I have found useful. They all have something to offer anyone interested in military research or local history, so take a browse!

Anyone with an interest in the Royal Flying Corps, Royal Air Force or Royal Naval Air Service in WW1 should look at this site-

An interesting and informative site for anyone with ancestors who served in the Monmouthshire Regiment during the Great War is this one, created by Martyn Gibson-

http://www.3rdbattmons.co.uk/

For anyone with an interest in the Australian Imperial Forces in all of the wars that they fought, the following links will prove to be invaluable (The Australian War Memorial, and the National Archives of Australia-

Anyone interested in researching ancestors who fought & died with the Australian Imperial Force at Gallipoli should visit this great site by the ever helpful Kim Phillips. He has a wealth of information about the men who died in that horrific Theatre of War-

An excellent starting point for anyone interested in the Great War is Tom Morgan's excellent website, which contains numerous articles and Great War related Links, and also a fantastic selection of Military Books for sale-

The official website for the world renowned Laugharne Rugby Football Club-well known in West Wales rugby circles, and a good place to visit for a few pints when you are in Laugharne-

Check out Laurence Durbridge's website for some excellent photos of Laugharne, and find out some of the history of the Township-

One man who I cannot thank enough for taking photographs of the graves of local men in far off places such as Gallipoli, is Bob Pike. He is extremely helpful, and offers photographs of graves and memorials at a reasonable price. His e-mail is below.

If you have an interest in WW2 Naval Officers, this excellent website contains a lot of information, and is always grateful for contributions.

An excellent website, which lists all Welsh Mariners, with details of ships, deaths etc. is Morwyr Cymru-Welsh Mariners-

Another excellent website, being run voluntarily,  is Roll-of Honour.com. Their aim is to record details on war memorials throughout the country, and publish them on the internet. If anyone has any photos and details on any War Memorial around the country that are not on their site yet, please contact the site owner via the website. The link is

A project which I am proud to be helping in a very small way is The War Graves Photographic Project. Their aim is to amass a database of WW1 and WW2 war-graves throughout the world, and make them available to the public. Their task is immense, as I found out when photographing just one WW1 cemetery in France last Summer, with over 1000 graves in! There are literally thousands of CWGC cemeteries throughout the world, and their task is immense-

A similar project which has helped me out on my latest project is the Australian War Graves Photographic Archives. They have supplied me with several top quality photographs, of graves which I could not visit in Galipolli and Egypt.

The Commonwealth War Graves Commision Website is one of the best places to begin researching a member of the Commonwealth Armed Forces that died in both World Wars.

A lot of the military research that I have carried out was done in the Public Record Office in London. They have an excellent website, which is being added to all of the time.

http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/

If you need to research a soldier's service, including getting hold of any surviving service papers, then I can recommend Jonathan Collins. He has carried out many Service Record and Medal Card searches for me, and is 100% relaible.

Another site that I find most useful in researching the locations of Battalions and units in the Great War, where they fought, what Divisions they were part of etc is Chris Baker's excellent Great War Website.

Anyone from West Wales wishing to research their Family History should have a look at this excellent website of the Dyfed Family History Society-

Or if you want to specialise more in the County of Carmarthenshire, then look no further than the Carmarthenshire Family History Society. Join their mailing list, and you can find out just how helpful their members are- in fact they have contributed a lot of information to this site, with many of the members helping in sending in photos and information, and also with the help of their members I have managed to trace the John side of my family back almost 300 years in the area, and I thank them for all their help-

A very interesting website, probably the main site for anyone interested in the Great War, is the newly revised website for the Western Front Association. The Western Front Association was formed with the aim of furthering interest in the period 1914-1918. They also aim to perpetuate the memory, courage and comradeship of all those who served their countries in France and Flanders and their own countries-
