Links

There are many sites on the internet covering the First World War. These are some of the ones I like to use:

The Commonwealth War Graves Commission site gives information about all those killed during the First and Second World Wars using a vast, searchable database.
The Spartacus website has large amounts of information about the First World War and many other aspects of history. I particularly like the quotations from people involved in the War. It is very pupil-friendly.
The BBC site contains an excellent animation of how the Western Front changed through time.
The firstworldwar.com site has a huge amount of excellent material.
Hellfire Corner, named after a landmark of the Ypres Salient, contains many articles submitted by people interested in the various aspects of the War.
"Silent Witnesses" is an attempt to update the book "Silent Cities" which was originally published in 1929. It gives details of many of the cemeteries of the Western Front.
This site also gives details of cemeteries and is based on information from the CWGC site, while this one has many photos and plans of cemeteries in the Ypres area.
The World War I Document Archive is "what it says on the tin", and includes an extensive Links page.
The Long, Long Trail is "The story of the British Army in the Great War 1914-1918". However, being a good starting point for researching family members involved in the War, the name might refer to the time that can be spent on researching such matters. It is also has a good section aimed at schools.
Art of the First World War is about an exhibition held to commemorate the 80th aniversary of the end of the war in 1918. It has information about one hundred pictures and their artists.
Sandra Banawich and Steven Dowd have produced excellent sites about Newton-le-Willows and its history.
www.mlb.com has nothing to do with the First World War, but is a useful site to get information about Dontrelle Willis, Derek Jeter, or the DH Rule. Everyone should have more than one interest!
