LONDON (AP) — A British museum is launching an ambitious online database to remember the lives of the millions of men and women who served in World War I.

The Imperial War Museum hopes that the history project, timed to coincide with the 100th anniversary of WWI, could form a permanent digital memorial to the scores of soldiers, nurses and others from Britain and the Commonwealth who contributed to the war by piecing together their life stories.
