On the remembrance of the individual men who died, we have known this information since 1923 and the digital archive was published recently. Are there any plans to have a digital archive of all the 203,000 who served?

I note that the first big British commemoration is based in Glasgow. Some interpret this as being a political device to use the commemoration of the First World War to destroy the movement towards Scottish independence. Again, is it not important there is not an attempt to drag our State and Government into a military-political commemoration which is really at the service of the current Tory and Whig leadership of the UK?
