Notes
This book starts with the fact that of the one million plus British and Empire soldiers who were killed in action, died of wounds or disease, or were missing or presumed missing, presumed dead, over half a million have no grave. The book traces the history of the tracing services that were established to help families in establishing definitive news of their missing relatives or friends. This is a well written and comprehensive narrative on this most important subject.
