Try www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ and follow the military links, the research guides are helpful too. Or go to your nearest library (that has a subscription to ancestry)/ county records office (they usually do) ,you will need a d.o.b., their name and maybe address or town to narrow it down a bit, not all records survive. Another way go to, www.veterans-uk.info/ follow the service record link, this will tell you how to apply, it will cost about £30. |
