Does anyone know how I can access two particular forms of record that I saw on-line some years ago, but now can't find -
An active panoramic view of the memorial at Ploegsteert that allowed me to scroll round and view the panel that had my relative's name on it. I thought I had found it via the CWGC site.
The letter/telegram informing my Gt grandparents of the death of their son. I thought I had followed a link from CWGC but can't find that now. Have tried Forces War Records but limited info there.

all advice welcomed.

Googling Ploegsteert brings up quite a few hints - you could try searching through them to see if you can find the right one.

Do you have the Service/Pension record for the man that died? Maybe the letter was in that.

Thanks for the hint. No, I don't have a service record - because I can't find it now!
I'm assuming that the websites have been updated over the years and somethings are no longer accessible.

Most of the surviving Army WW1 records are on Ancestry. For non-subscribers they can be searched for on the National Archives site with a pay-to-view link. As Potty says, a carbon copy for files might be amongst those.

If you'd like to give the details of your grt grt Uncle, someone with a sub could have a look.

It's awfully difficult for things to vanish from the internet, although that might be the case for an interactive video. One can retrieve an terrible lot of stuff via the Wayback Machine - see:

Thank you Detective and mgnv - I have done the rounds of the easily accessible websites without success. I am hoping that if I look back through my written (!) notes I may get a clue to how I accessed the record of his enlistment. The Wayback Machine sounds fascinating, thanks for the link.
