Hi
I have sent off for my grt uncle's records (via my father) and received this reply.
"On receipt of your Uncle's Army service file, it was found that some original service documents were sent to the Veteran's agency some considerable time ago and have never been returned to the MOD archives. As a matter of urgency I have requested that theses documents be forwarded to me.
However many documents held at the veteran's agency were destroyed some years ago and you must be aware of the possibility that his documents were among those destroyed"
I wondered whether anyone who has sent off for records ever had this happen to them or knows how they came to be destroyed!
My great uncle died in 1942.
