Does anyone know where I might find an Employees Personnel Record for the Woolwich Arsenal during period 1900ish-1943.
I looked on the Greenwich Council Website and found the link to their Heritage Center which said they were held at the Public Record Office.
If (big if) I have searched NA correctly it mentions 2 x docs "Woolwich Arsenal Employees to the Prime Minister 1918 and 1919" which are held in the Parliamentary Archives (House of Commons - weeks notice required!). Not sure what these will contain (sounds like just a list of names to me).
I joined a War Forum to post the above question and they seem to be having problems with their site and so still haven't given me permission to post! I originally planned my first visit to Kew for this Thursday so I could search for the employees record that I was led to believe would be held there! Sorry bit of a rant, getting frustrated as this record (if it still exists) is so important to confirm which one of two men were my Great Grandfather as it should contain his DOB!
Any help would be very much appreciated.
