Commonwealth War Graves Commission Website
The Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) website contains, inter alia, details of all British Commonwealth and certain other nationalities for both World Wars, who were killed or died and it has just undergone a facelift.
The result is dreadful and to launch the new system with so many errors is disappointing.
The sort of errors which have been found include the following:
A date format, stated to be DD/MM/YY which returns an error because it should be DD/MM/YYYY.
The selection of records against a given period of two dates does not work properly
The records selected are not always the ones which are returned to the researcher.
There appear to be issues with some of the 'pull down' choices.
It seems the new system was not tested fully and it has remained in use for several weeks despite errors being notified to CWGC.
This is an organisation which has always enjoyed a particularly good reputation but unless someone gets a grip of the website soon, that reputation will be blown apart.
