This is a mid-level category. Profiles should be added to the narrowest category possible, but may be placed here when further information is not known. See How to Categorize.
NOTE: This is a roll up level category and should not have individual profiles. Profiles should be assigned to the branch of service and/or a regiment when possible.

The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland—then consisting of England, Scotland, Wales, and the whole of Ireland—was one of the Allied Powers during the First World War of 1914–1918, fighting against the Central Powers (the German Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire and the Kingdom of Bulgaria).

Participation: The Family Search web site maintains United Kingdom, World War I Service Records, 1914-1920. These Service Records, even the summary, indicates the Birth Year, place, Corps/unit/ship and the date of enlistment. Attribution to a Category is voluntary, this page illustrates how to do this. If unsure please discuss requirements with a Project Lead in the Project: United Kingdom.

Contributors can attribute Profiles to the Service/Corps/Unit of the Armed Service in which service was undertaken or simply to the general participation page. The following Services participated in the war: Her Majesty's Naval Service including the Royal Navy, the Royal Marines and Queen Alexandra's Royal Naval Nursing Service; British Army. The Royal Flying Corps was part of the British Army and the Royal Navy Flying Service part of the Royal Navy. For female participation in the War see the Women behind the front lines category. If you are looking to attribute to a unit/ship, wikitree maintains Royal Navy Ships and British Army units.

The United Kingdom made extensive use of commercial shipping. Ships and Personnel formed the Merchant Navy. Personnel of the Merchant Navy are remembered at the Tower Hill Memorial which commemorates all men and women of the Merchant Navy and Fishing Fleets who died in both World Wars and who have no known grave. It stands on the south side of the garden of Trinity Square, London, close to The Tower of London.

Casualties: Wikitree maintains an Honour Roll for casualties of conflicts in honour of their memory. This honour roll is categorised into: Killed in Action (KIA), Wounded in Action (WIA), Missing in Action (MIA) and Prisoners of War (POW).

For those killed they will be registered with the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. This site has a comprehensive search engine which will provide the location of where your Profile members are buried, or remembered if they have no known grave.
