National Archives - WW1 medal cards and other records

Thought it was worth letting people know that WW1 medal cards are freely available from the National Archives. If you register you don't have to pay to download a copy of the image. You can search from their landing page, but search is pretty clunky, so link to medal card page:
nationalarchives.gov.uk/hel…20/

They've made a page putting all their WW1 resources together (don't know if it's just up for the weekend):
nationalarchives.gov.uk/hel…war

Also, The National Archives now hold military service records (from pre 50s/60s). Here's how to get them: discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/mod…ep1
There is a fee for this as they aren't open access (I think it varies with how many sheet of paper are involved).

    Just tried them in the browser I'm using (Firefox) and another browser - working for me? (edited)
