ORBATS
Close

Orders of Battle (ORBATS) are documents produced by
the military to show the hierarchical structure,
command organisation and disposition of units for
particular engagements of the British Military. At the
highest level they show a breakdown of the units involved in entire
conflicts, the First World War in this case, including
Divisional and Brigade commanding officers, the organisation of the
divisions right down to the battalion level along with their
attached units from for example, the Royal Artillery.
With the ORBATS you are able to determine exactly where units were
on a given date and the battle, action or event they took part
in.

The ORBATS data transcribed by Forces War Records
has allowed us to produce this interactive map, with
which you can track the progress of units throughout the course of
the First World War, from the opening battle at Mons to
the closing stages of the Spring Offensive.

Did you know, service records post 1922 are still restricted and
only held by the M.O.D.?

While we hold many collections of records after 1922, the service
records themselves are only held by the M.O.D.

All is not lost however. If you are a direct relative, you can
apply to the M.O.D. directly to receive these service
records.
