I have noticed greater availability of WW1 British Servicemen's records including:
1) International Red Cross Committee
records of hundreds of British POW's (British, French and German reports on the Internet free)
2) Notes on about 1000 Manx servicemen with connections to
St. George's Parish by Rev. Robert D. Kermode the Vicar (on Imuseum.im free)
3) More regimental war diaries or
summaries are being posted on the Internet
4) A 1915 IRCC report on Knockaloe and Douglas Camps (in French) is available on the Internet.
and Ancestry.co.uk is free this weekend
