The Scottish Military Research Group has produced a series of research guides which will assist you in starting out your research into military ancestors.

They have been designed to cover as many areas as we hope are required. If there is any information you feel we have missed out, or you find any information to be incorrect, please do get in touch and let us know!

We currently have the following research guides, which you can download by clicking the relevant links.

  • Researching your pre-WW1 ancestors
  • Researching your First World War ancestors - now updated!
  • Researching Second World War ancestors
  • Common Military Abbreviations
  • Scotland and the First World War - A Chronology
  • Researching military ancestors after 1945
  • Identifying Scottish military units from photographs - new!
  • Ranks and Formations - coming soon
  • Scottish military regiments and units - coming soon

Our research guides are provided here free of charge, but if you would like to reward our efforts, or simply help support the work and research we do, then you can use the donate button below to show your appreciation.
