I am trying to discover for which time frames the TNA hold individuals army service documents?
I have someone on my tree who was in the army in 1758 and also in 1778, so presumably for the time in between also. I would like to get his army record, but am guessing he came out of the service too early for his record to show in "The Catalogue" under Dept Code WO? All I could find to tell me what is held under that ref was this:
WO War Office (including service records and regimental war diaries), 1568-1996
Which isn't much help at all!!
