service records

[zzxxee]

if i would be entitled to a copy of my grandads army service records he is noew deceased

[rinkins]

Is his wife still alive? And how much information do you have about him. I got pretty stuck until one day after about 18 months my Nan suddenly remembered his staff number. If you have that you are onto a winner.

Last year I got my Grandfather's records so I could apply for a medal which he was entitled to.

excuse interruption please but I am curious about my late grandfather and father who served in each of the WW's respectively. unfortunately I have no service number for either of them but my grandfather was mentioned in dispatches (twice) I presume I'd have to pay for the info, but how would I go about proving kinship?

again, apologies for interrupting your thread zz

Hi albaqwerty x

This should put you in the right direction........you didnt say which service they were in, but this covers all.

About proving kinship....quite easy through copies of birth certificates, marriage certificates etc

A lovely record to have.

.......and very good luck xx
