Surrey History Trust
Findmypast.co.uk is delighted to be working in partnership with the Surrey History Trust to make available online some of its core records to family historians with roots in the county. The Surrey Recruitment Registers 1908-1933 contain details of men who enlisted with the British Army at various locations in Surrey during the early part of the 20th century. The majority of these records will be of particular interest to family historians with Surrey ancestors who served during WW1. These records are not a complete recruitment record of men in that county; however, the registers provide a fascinating snapshot of Surrey's men. Findmypast.co.uk is thrilled to be able to publish these records online.
