I am absolutely gutted. I received the eagerly awaited reply which states "any records relating to dates of birth pre 1907 would have been destroyed in accordance with the MOD's policy of destruction at 100 years from date of birth."
Yes I know this was the case but I was also led to believe that they still had quite a few old records which hadn't been destroyed. I don't know if its me but the wording of this letter makes me feel as though they haven't even bothered to look or maybe its just me feeling ever so disappointed. My brickwall just turned into a skyscraper!!
I hope those of you who also wrote have more luck than me - I'll be very interested to hear how you get on.
