Files of WWI soldiers now searchable online
With less than a year to go until the launch of numerous ceremonies and events marking the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I (1914-18), the Belgian Royal Army Museum (MRA) has stepped up its preparations. As of Wednesday, it has made available online (www.klm-mra.be) an extensive database containing the personal files of over 250,000 Belgian soldiers. The database currently features officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers born between 1845 and 1888 (including those that took part in the "Great War") and whose names begin with the letters A to I and T to Z. In the coming weeks the remaining letters will also be added.
