Lonsdale mentions in the London Gazette

The "official newspapers of records in the United Kingdom" are the London, Edinburgh, and Belfast Gazettes. During the First World War a large and varied amount of information such as War despatches and Military Honours etc., were printed in the London Gazette. It was the fast track way of reading about the progress of the war, who had been commissioned, who had died and what political issues had been raised as a result of what was happening over seas.

Pages from The London Gazette during this period have been digitised and are available to view or download free of charge. Much of The London Gazette can be searched, ranging from 1752-1998. Although these are digital scans from original pages, the material contained withing the historic archives cannot be assumed to be wholly reliable in a current context.
