Guest Trefcon Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 A subscription to Ancestry, or a visit to the National Archives in London. (You wont get WW2 records until 2021 I think, unless your next of kin etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnm Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 If you are the next of kin of a deceased person you can get their WW2 records for £30. https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ministry-of-defence/about/publication-scheme#service-records---requests-for-service-records-of-deceased-service-personnel-and-home-guard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bayleaf Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 This might be a good starting point. If you're looking for a family member's service record have a look here, though if you do apply be prepared for a wait of several months before you receive them.

I'm just very weary giving/researching/looking up things that are easy to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
