Sorry if this is obvious.
I am looking for both my grandad's army service records. Are they held at Kew?
I have one of grandad's dischard sheet, kept safely, but that's all.
One was a gunner in 37th Bridage RFA, the other 4th Hampshire Regiment.
Also, my mum told me her dad Arthur Thomas Hamilton's original surname was Tullett and that he was 'ejected' from the army. When he rejoined Jan 1914, he took his mother's maiden name of Hamilton (1895).. Arthur Thomas = 1895Deptford - 1970 Lewisham. I cannot find any military history pre his 'Hamilton' army record.
Any help or pointers gratefully accepted.
RFA = Arthur Thomas Hamilton, Hampshires = Arthur Albert McKanna
