Some of the collections in this category include images of records or scanned publication, while others are textual. The information included can range from just the name of the honoree and date of the award, to more detailed entries like those found in De Ruvigny's Roll of Honour, 1914-1924 (UK). In this collection entries include parents’ names, some grandparents’ names, birth date and place, and highlights, engagements and injuries sustained while in the service.
