Most of the following indexes give mentions of servicemen (mainly British Army) in Cumbrian newspapers published during World War One. Information will vary slightly with each index but will usually include name, rank, regimental unit and service number (where known), address, reason for mention and location in newspaper.

Indexes, 30 July 1915 to 8 November 1918 and 10 January 1919 to 31 December 1927. Indexes commence 30 June 1915 as this is the first known surviving edition of the newspaper. The Keswick Reminder was then a free newspaper. This explains the apparent lack of detailed war news as it relied on advertising revenue. No photographs were published during this time.
