Request a place in the First World War casualty beta

For Beta V1, Their War is deliberately concentrating on British/Commonwealth First World War personnel who died while serving. These cases usually have stronger casualty and commemoration records, which lets us test whether the complete research-and-story experience is reliable before widening the product. Sending this form does not start paid research or create a customer account; it gives the operator enough information to review whether the case fits this beta. If accepted, this same request is used to create your Family Access — there is no second registration form.

No research provider is called by this form. Your request is reviewed manually first.

What happens next?

  1. We check the casualty anchor.We first confirm that the case fits the First World War died-in-service beta and look for strong casualty or commemoration evidence.
  2. We send your private Family Access link.If the request fits the pilot, we create access from this request and send you a private link. There is no password, participant code or second registration step.
  3. Find starts with casualty and military evidence.Once invited, Their War identifies credible casualty candidates and explains what matches and what remains uncertain before deeper research is considered.
  4. The identity is confirmed or the case stops honestly.During validation, a case proceeds only when the evidence is strong enough. If it is not, Their War must say so rather than guess.
