Do you think it would be a good idea to have a Military section on your community boards. With the 100th aniversary of the First War on the 04/08/2014 I think it would be very well used.

not sure that I agree


There are plenty of sites dedicated to WW1 and WW2, with much expertise



and yes, I do have family members who served in WW1, thankfully, all that I have found so far did survive.

I know that there are many sites devoted to both wars. But there are also a lot of people who use this site that will be able to help those in need of information , And it does not have to be restricted to the 2 world wars or just to those that gave their lives.

Unfortunately many members have difficulty deciding what board to post on. Any further message boards would create more confusion for them. :-)
