To mark the centenary of the introduction of compulsory conscription, the National Archives would like to remind everybody that the records of the Middlesex Military Service appeal tribunal are online and available to download for free.
In addition, experts from the archive will be reflecting on what has caught their attention in a series of blogs, the first of which gives a great introduction to the records and the range of responses to the tribunals from across the local community.
