Can someone advise me on how I go about identifying whether War Diaries exist for the Army Units my late Father served in while with the RASC and RAOC based on his service record, and how to go about retrieving copies. Thanks Wiffer
Hi Lee's search engine is the bee's knees for finding the right war diary, held at The National Archives Kew. http://arcre.com/wdsearch TNA's own search engine, Discovery: http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/advanced-search Two threads on how to navigate the archives at Kew http://ww2talk.com/forums/topic/11433-national-archives-kew-tips/ http://ww2talk.com/forums/topic/61888-kew-visit/ edit: Is this the service records thread? http://ww2talk.com/forums/topic/61888-kew-visit/
Many thanks dbf for the links. I will follow up on these. Not sure what you meant with your final comment. Regards Wiffer
