Book excerpt: A tremendous piece of research, conducted over ten years, in which are listed, in alphabetical order, the names of over 60,000 officers of the British Empire who died during the Great War, including nurses and female aid workers. Based on the CWGC Registers, the information provided includes not only that shown in ‘Officers Died' but also the place of burial or commemoration. The alphabetical listing means that looking up a name does not require prior knowledge of the regiment (as in ‘Officers Died') though this information is given, as well as cross-reference to the relevant page number in ‘Officers Died’.

Book excerpt: This list is set out in two sections: The Royal Navy with the Navies of the Empire and the Royal Marines; and The Royal Naval Air Service, Royal Flying Corps and Royal Air Force. As with the other volumes in the series date and place of death are given with place of burial or commemoration. This volume breaks new ground by recording the deaths and burial sites of other ranks, and extending the date of research to 1921. The title is not exactly right since it makes no mention of Warrant Officers who are included in the lists.
