A pen picture of the war service of well over 100,000 men and women.

One of the most sought-after sets of reference books of the First World War is the National Roll of the Great War. The National Publishing Company attempted, shortly after hostilities ceased, to compile a brief biography of as many participants in the War as possible. The vast majority of entries refer to combatants who survived the Great War and the National Roll is often the only source of information available. Fourteen volumes were completed on a regional basis; the Naval & Military Press has compiled the index database that allows simple searching of this unique reference source.

Original volumes of this work are scarce and command high prices.
