- Motivation
Lives of the First World War (aka LivesOfWW1) is a project of Imperial War Museums (Q23315190) to record the "Life Stories for more than 8 million men and women", encompassing "every individual... soldier, sailor, airman and civilian from across Britain and the Commonwealth" who served during the first World War. It collects attributed data from known sources, which will be held by the IWM as a permanent legacy. It is not intended to import the full set of IDs.

- Discussion
Support Looks good - note that a single person may well have multiple IDs but LoFWW do aim to merge them when duplicates are discovered, so we may need to do occasional checks to see if duplicated IDs are still live. Andrew Gray (talk) 17:41, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
