Databases: UK: First World War soldiers’ pension records online
From the announcement:

The pension records of almost one million soldiers who fought in the First World War are now available to search and download from Ancestry.co.uk

The collection (catalogue reference WO 364) comprises the records of many soldiers discharged because of illness or injury sustained during the War.

This is a major milestone in the partnership project between Ancestry.co.uk and The National Archives. The remaining service records of soldiers who killed, died or who survived the war (catalogue reference WO 363) will be available online by the end of 2008.
