In some cases the information they offer is inaccurate and downright misleading (e.g. the guesswork as to which medals a soldier should have earned). With the exception of a small number of WW2 Home Guard transcribed items (not the original documents), I did not come across anything that was not available better, and cheaper/free, elsewhere. Many of the documents I looked for, which they claim to have, (e.g. WW1 medal records), turned out to be transcriptions, not the original documents themselves (which Ancestry have). When I cancelled my subscription they continued to charge me and I ended up paying for an extra month. Again, I stress that this is just my own experience, and my personal point of view of this worthless company, which I would strongly advise everyone to give a miss to, and which the internet would be better off without. All in my own opinion of course......</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=unknown&rft.btitle=Personnel+searching+%5Bvia%5D+Forces+War+Records&rft.series=%5BResearching%5D+Soldiers+and+their+units&rft.pub=Great+War+Forum&rft.date=2015-07-09&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.greatwarforum.org%2Ftopic%2F229586-personnel-seaching-forces-war-records%2F%23comment-2282450&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AAncestry.com" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-GWF_FWR_2019-86"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-GWF_FWR_2019_86-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/188014-forces-war-records-website-user-review-sought/page/4/#comment-2803943">"<span class="cs1-kern-left"></span>"Forces War Records" website - user review sought"</a>.
