Ken Lees Posted 26 September , 2017 Share Posted 26 September , 2017 I am getting increasingly frustrated by the latest incarnation of the AWM website. It has taken me hours to find information about 2 soldiers and I still can't find some records that I know are there. And to make matters worse, knowing that I have asked these questions before on the GWF, I can't find my previous posts! Grrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [Deep breath] So, does anyone have the links saved to find the Red Cross Missing search page, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFBSM Posted 27 September , 2017 Share Posted 27 September , 2017 Here: https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/P10331104 I searched from this link, using Crerar as the parameter after selecting People in the boxes. Got these results: https://www.awm.gov.au/advanced-search?query=Crerar&people=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Lees Posted 4 December , 2017 Author Share Posted 4 December , 2017 (edited) Thanks BFBSM. So there's no page to go to to search for just Honours and Awards like there used to be? How far backwards is the site going? Edited 4 December , 2017 by Ken Lees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honours & Awards Link: https://www.awm.gov.au/advanced-search/people?roll=Honours and Awards&people_roll_type=award Search for a person link: https://www.awm.gov.au/advanced-search/people Scrolling down the page in the above link you will find that clicking on the brown heading of the particular Roll etc your after - will take you to the search page for that Roll Once you get used to it - it's not much different to before.....trust me!

Waddell Posted 5 December , 2017 Share Posted 5 December , 2017 (edited) You are not alone struggling with this Ken. I had problems a few months ago looking for a military medal recommendation for a local soldier. If I search for it through the people search engine it does not allow access to the recommendations, however if I search for them through the collections search it comes up under the rolls as Frev has mentioned. I suspect that there is a glitch in the system. Perhaps they need to delete the people search and do it all through the collections search. Scott Edited 5 December , 2017 by Waddell Added more.

Guest Posted 6 December , 2017 Share Posted 6 December , 2017 This works to a point. If you take this bit of the URL https://www.awm.gov.au/advanced-search/people?roll= Then add, Honours or Service Files, or whatever to the end of it, it takes you to that particular search box (I think) Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
