The Ministry of Defence does not normally
release information from a service record to persons
other than the individual concerned or their next of kin
and a nonrefundable search fee may be charged.
3. Soldiers 1914-1920
These records were transferred to the
National Archives in November 1996 but initial
enquiries should still go to Ministry of Defence,
CS(RM)2, Bourne Avenue, Hayes, Middlesex, UB3 1RF. A fee is charged and this service is now available
to anybody.
Because of bombing in 1940 only about 25%
to 30% of soldiers records from this period have
survived.
