Hello Ryan

I am in the process of ordering my Grandfathers WW2 service records, or more correctly, my Father is. Apparantly you have to be the legal next of kin and the search can take 3 to 6 months. You have to complete a declaration of kinship.

The address that you have is correct but I think it would be better to find the telephone number and call them. They are vey nice and helpful.

I was at the PRO on Wednesday to search WW2 diaries and as Paul says they are quite detailed, if a little dry. I was searching for artillery diaries and found them very complex and involved.
