Isaac Rosenberg (1890 - 1917) is one of the lesser known of the war poets, though he is considered to be one of the finest.

Although some of Isaac's records were destroyed during the Second World War, remaining records provide an insight into his life. You can find out more about First World War service records - the 'burnt documents' in The National Archives online exhibition The First World War.

We hope this site will provide you with some starting points and some inspiration to trace your own family history.
