About WW1 names

The First World War ran from 1914 to 1918, and most of the people caught up in it were born between about 1875 and 1900. Their names belong to the late Victorian nursery: Albert, Percy and Ethel in Britain, Gaston, Célestin and Léontine in France, Wilhelm, Otto and Hedwig in Germany. That is the main difference from a Second World War cast, whose first names are a full generation younger.

Most entries carry a rank or role of the period in the army's own language. British entries use the words of the arm of service: Rifleman, Gunner, Sapper, Driver, Trooper. French ones run from Soldat to Commandant, with Chasseur, Zouave and Tirailleur. German ones include Musketier, Landsturmmann and Vizefeldwebel. Austria-Hungary appears with its many peoples, from the Tyrolean Kaiserjäger of the k.u.k. army to the Hungarian Honvéd. Russian, Ottoman, Italian, Serbian, Indian Army, ANZAC, Canadian and American ranks are here too.

Every entry is an invented character. The list has no generals, no statesmen and none of the famous soldiers, poets or airmen of the war. Nurses, women's services and home front workers make up a good share of it, because the war was theirs as well.

How to choose WW1 names

  • Match the first name to the birth year. A private of 1916 was usually born in the 1890s and a sergeant major nearer 1880, so Regimental Sergeant Major Septimus Holroyd can carry an older name than Private Alfie Thurgood.
  • Let the rank show the arm of service. In the British Army a private of the artillery was a Gunner, of the engineers a Sapper and of a rifle regiment a Rifleman, so Sapper Josiah Trevithick tells the reader what he does before the first scene in a tunnel.
  • Build a British battalion of 1914 or 1915 from one district. The Pals battalions were raised town by town, so neighbors enlisted and served together. Surnames from one county, such as Aspinall, Greenhalgh and Kershaw from Lancashire, sound right side by side.
  • Know why the Ottoman entries look different. Turkey adopted family surnames only in 1934, so a soldier here has a rank, a hometown byname and a given name, as in Nefer Konyalı Halil, who is Halil from Konya. Officers carry two given names, as in Yüzbaşı Halil Rasim.
  • Search the full name with its rank before you publish. Many casualty rolls and service records of this war can be searched online, and a name that matches a real soldier deserves a second look.

Frequently asked questions

Are these real soldiers of the First World War?

No. The list was drafted by pairing given names and surnames of the period with ranks of the time, not by copying any roll or roster. Tens of millions of people served, so an ordinary name can always match a real person by coincidence. Search a name before you publish it.

Which nations and services are covered?

The largest groups are British, French, German, Austro-Hungarian, Russian, American, Indian Army, Australian, New Zealand and Canadian, with smaller sets for Ottoman, Italian, Serbian, Belgian, Romanian, Portuguese, Greek and Bulgarian characters. Armies, navies and the early air services all appear, for example Air Mechanic Stanley Prewett, Matrose Hinnerk Janssen, Havildar Pratap Singh Bisht and Kazak Mitrofan Sizov. Women include Sister Edith Fairclough, Infirmière Léontine Dufresne and Munitions Worker Annie Yeadon.

What do the non-English ranks mean?

Soldat, Musketier, Infanterist, Ryadovoy, Nefer, Soldato and Redov all mean a private soldier, and a Honvéd is a private of the Hungarian home army. A Landsturmmann belongs to the Landsturm, the oldest class of German and Austrian reservists. The Ottoman ranks count heads: Onbaşı is the head of ten, a corporal, Yüzbaşı the head of a hundred, a captain, and Binbaşı the head of a thousand, a major. Hungarian names appear given name first, although Hungarians themselves put the family name first.

How are WW1 names different from WW2 names?

The first names are a generation older, so Horace, Enoch and Gertrude stand where a 1940s list has Ronald and Doreen. The services differ too: this page has the Voluntary Aid Detachments, the WAAC and the naval and military air services that came before the Royal Air Force, which was formed in April 1918. It also has the imperial armies of Austria-Hungary, Russia and the Ottoman Empire, none of which existed by 1939.
