Are they related to you? How? Military regiment (e.g. Royal Scots Fusiliers) The best starting place for this project is talking to relatives; find out if they are aware of anyone in your family history that fought in the First World War. By talking to elderly relatives, you might find that are willing to provide you lots of information and might even have pictures and stories that could be of use. The minimum information you need to know is their name, how they are related to you and what military regiment they belonged to. If you cannot find a relative that fought in the First World War, you can pick one of these famous people and research them. • William Hackett, winner of the Victoria Cross • Frederick Barter, winner of the Victoria Cross • Wilfred Owen, famous anti-war poet • Harry Farr, executed for cowardice • Clive S. Lewis, author of The Chronicles of Narnia • Baron von Richthofen • Paul von Hindenburg • Maréchal Pétain • Maréchal Joffre
