Preview:To mark the centenary of the First World War, the British Red Cross has received a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund to digitise and make available an interactive database and website of the collection of 244,000 Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD) personnel index cards of those who volunteered during the First World War. Working with Kingston University, volunteers are currently transcribing the record cards for the database. The database was launched on 20th October 2014 by the British Red Cross to mark the centenary of the establishment of the Joint War Committee.
