Reece Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Hi everyone i was wondering how i would go about finding out about military reords for my great grandfather (ww1) and my great uncle (ww2) any ideas ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Hi Reece, I have carried out a SAR (Service Acess Request) for Diane's dad who was in the Navy WW2. A ggogle search on MoD sites should throw up something. I have the Navy version and accessed it through the RN website. Do you know their Regiments/Corps as this will help? Otherwise on this forum Graeme's your man. maybe a PM? Let us know what you find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 A researcher could make copies of the documents for you. Or you could do it yourself if you go to the National Archives in London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
