    Am going to apply for my father's service record. Does anyone have an example they can post of a WW2 service record, just so I knowc] what to expect. Also, how long might it take to receive?

    Many thanks Owen, that's great. Similar to a WW1 service record really.

    Thanks again.

    I wouldn't date the cheque. Saves you getting 6 months down the line and booted out because the cheque is outdated.

    Thanks Ron.

    Has anyone received a service record recently?

  8. Received some in December 2020, applied December 2019. Covid has delayed the process immensely . They pulled the file in February and it went to scrutiny in the same month. So there's easily a 10 month Backlog at the moment.

    Thank you. At last I have some idea of the wait.
