THOSE THAT SERVED IN THE VETERINARY CORPS IN WW1

If you would like to share with us your relative that was in the Veterinary Corps during WW1 please contact me, you can have all the web space that you would like. If you have ever tried to do research on the Veterinary Corps during WW1 you know how little information here is. We all have little bits and pieces and maybe if we share them with each other it will help us to understand what is was like to serve in the Veterinary Corps during WW1 and keep the memory alive of those that served. You can also post a question on this page and maybe someone out there will be able to help you if I can't. I would like to thank all the people who have helped me get answers to my questions.
