What can these records tell me?

Each record is a transcript with at least one image (average of four per record).

This list will also tell you if your ancestor is commemorated on any war memorials in the UK.

The amount of information listed varies, but the Leicestershire and Rutland Soldiers Died 1914-1920 records usually include a combination of the following information about your ancestor:

• Name
• Soldier number
• Regiment
• Rank
• Deceased date
• Age

Thanks Craig, sounds as if this is a modern database, and I already have the book Rutland and the Great War, also the Leicestershire SDGW, so probably wouldn't find anything extra from the database mentioned.
