Both my Dad and his dad served during both wars. Whereas I have quite a lot of info about my Dad, I would still like to find out more.

On WDYTYA on Thursday night, they managed to obtain an individual war record for someone. I didn't know you could do this.

How would I go about getting my Dad's and his father's war records? I have their regiments and service numbers so is there an actual address/website I can contact to purchase these?

I am thinking that maybe this was something that can only be obtained for the likes of TV programmes and not by an individual.

You can get them easily, by chance someone else was asking, so look about four posts down at the one called


WW2-royal engineers

and all the answers are on there

Thank you for that. I have been onto them straight away. Apparently records before 1920 are now public domain anyway.
