MyHeritage adds United Kingdom, British Army Casualty Lists, 1939-1947

Added to MyHeritage on 21 June 2026, these records document members of the British Army who were wounded, killed, or went missing in action during World War II, spanning the full extent of the conflict and its immediate aftermath.

The 1,113,764 records capture casualties from many theatres of operation, including campaigns in Western Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and the Far East. Records typically include the name of the individual, mostly initials and surname, and the date and place of the casualty. Many entries also include the individual’s rank, regiment, army service number, and casualty status. The original document does not include the nature of the injury.

Some entries reflect casualties whose status was later corrected in subsequent records. That was the case for my uncle.

MyHeritage produced the index from scanned images of the original documents held at TNA, Kew.
