Tower Hamlets are seeking additional indexers for an important part of this project. The indexing of the Poplar Military Tribunal Register which contains names of 3,500 men who sought exemption from military service for a variety of reasons.
This unique resource will go online once indexing is complete to offer a free resource to researchers seeking information on this overlooked aspect of the history of World War One, the local level.
If you are interested in this volunteer role which can be undertaken from home, the PDF of the register can be supplied to you remotely along with the template being used for indexing, please contact me at [log in to unmask]
Many Thanks
