World War One Soldiers' Wills Go Online

Will reveals wishes of Mick Fleetwood's grandfather

One of the wills that has been launched online today belongs to Mick Fleetwood - one of the founders of rock band Fleetwood Mac.

The document describes the last wishes of his grandfather John Fleetwood, who served in the ill-fated Gallipoli Campaign to capture Istanbul during the Second World War.

John Fleetwood died of dysentery in a hospital in Malta five days after Christmas 1915.

His will was discovered by leading British historian Jon Cooksey who was given access to the new database before today's website launch.

I look forward to reading Mick's comments on this. I was sad that my own grandmother died before I was able to find her father's war enrollment papers online. I know that seeing them would have given her a chill and also I think made her feel close to her father]
