Hi everyone, I know this one has been possibly done to death many times, so I will keep it simple. Can I get a 'Service Record' of a person or not? I am not NOK, nor relative Cannot get a copy Death Cert He served in Army 1941-47 Born 1903. Died 1979 in USA I have his Service Number I find MOD web site a bit confusing about just who can obtain a record. Thanks Alan
Yes, but you will need to show the MoD proof of death. It doesn't have to be a death certificate. A picture of his headstone will be enough assuming he was buried or a copy of the funeral invoice. If you are still struggling give them a call at Glasgow, I found them very helpful when I spoke to them. Regards Andy
Thanks Andy, I will see what the family can produce and if they wish to request records. Of course the fee will need to be paid. Alan
