TNA's principal military specialist William Spencer gives an exceptionally clear explanation of British military records available online between 1800 and 1920.
He explains anomalies and gives search tips. Although the illustrations used in the lecture are not captured in the podcast you can still get a lot out of the explanation.
The data sets explained are:
WO 97, British Army Service Records 1760-1915 (Chelsea Pensioners), available at findmypast.co.uk
WO 119, Royal Hospital, Kilmainham: Pensioners' Discharge Documents (Certificates of Service), indexed by name in TNA's catalogue. Digitized records are not available online.
