The figure is more like a 1/3 if you cant get to Kew then do you live near a family history center? check on www.familysearch.org you can order in the relevent film for a few pounds. The series title is Military records of the British Army, 1914-1920 There are also whispers that Ancestry are currently copying all of the burnt files and hope to have them available to view online at some point this year. But this just for the burnt files, there is another range WO 364 (pension files) and these would have to be checked at Kew. |

Just wondered if anyone can help. I would like to find out if my Grandfathers WW1 service records survived. I called the National Archives and was told that it costs about £60 to get someone to search these records for me. Not that I mind spending out money,but as only 50% of WW1 records survived I could be paying for nothing. I was wondering if anyone out there is going at some point and would mind checking to see if they are there or not before I spend out. Thanks Julie |
