    Not online but you can order them if you are next of kin. There's a fee - of about £30 I think - and they do take some time to come through.

        its best to give as much information as possible. full name and date of birth is usually enough. but if you know his regiment and number, add those as well.

              Hi - I've just heard from someone who received WW11 records for his grandfather and he was extremely pleased. Gave quite a bit of info and also showed his gf's writing. I believe that if your grandmother is a pensioner, she might not have to pay for the records.

                  To get service records you have to be the person concerned or if deceased next of kin. I got a letter from my Auntie giving me permission in order to get my Grandfather's Service Record.

                  The person concerned doesn't have had to have been in a world war but if you contact them they will advise you.
