    Thanks for that. I checked the UK records and wouldn't you know it, the first two letters of the name I'm searching for aren't on the list. Does this mean that the list is complete and my name just isn't there, or would you say there are more names to be added?

    Also jumps the name I've some interest in, gets down to BRAxxx and then starts again at BROxxx - not much use for Breen, which I know there isn't just the one of.

    112 of them. Generally people here will look stuff up if you give us more details but the guys over in the WW1 forum (Research a Soldier thread) know about more resources available than I do.
