Kaz If you go to the website listed below, you can get detials on how to get service records. There is a charge of £25 and you have to be next of kin or get permission from next of kin if the person is deceased. They also take a fair few months to process it. It took two months to just get the application form sent when I did it. Take out the brackets.Good luck. Sian http://<www.army.mod.uk>/<contacts>/<divisions>/<records>.htm
