Lives of the First World War launches officially

As I announced last week, the new Lives of the First World War project has today left beta testing and has been opened to the general public to participate. The project, a collaboration between the Imperial War Museum and DC Thomson Family History, aims to document the lives of all those who fought in the war on behalf of the British and British Empire based forces.

It is available at https://livesofthefirstworldwar.org, whilst a getting started guide is accessible for newcomers at https://livesofthefirstworldwar.org/getting-started.
