## Description

The Long, Long Trail is a personal website founded in 1996, dedicated to researching soldiers of the British Army during the Great War of 1914-1918. Initially focused on building an online order of battle, the site has expanded to provide guidance on soldier research, battles, and battlefields of the war. The site's creator, Chris Baker, is a freelance military historian with a passion for the First World War, having published multiple books on the subject.

Supported by donations and modest affiliate advertising, The Long, Long Trail offers free access to all its resources. Additionally, it spawned the successful Great War Forum, uniting family and military historians worldwide. Visitors can support the site's upkeep by contributing the price of a coffee each month. With accolades like being named the best military ancestor tracing site by the BBC's "Who Do You Think You Are?" magazine, The Long, Long Trail is a valuable resource for anyone interested in this period of history.
