| Great War Forum | The
Long, Long Trail is a personal website, born in 1996 and developed as a
hobby ever since. Every word of it is written by Chris Baker but with
much help along the way from some key sources and information provided
by others.
My original intent was to build a comprehensive
online order of battle for the British Army in the First World War. It
still is: but along the way, mainly because people asked, sections have
been added on how to research a soldier; the battles and battlefields
of the war; and much more.
Along the way it spawned and then
spun off the incredibly successful Great War Forum, which has brought
thousands of family and military historians together from across the
globe. |
