Hi, I'm looking for the Army records for Duncan Jamieson from WW2. I currently do not have any information about anything, only that he joined the English Army in about 1930 at the age of 16 (born in Scotland really in 1916 but said he was born in 1914) Once leaving the army Duncan did not collect medals or give out any information of regiments etc.

World War 2 records are still with the MOD and are not online. You need to contact this address:-

Army Personnel Centre,
Historical Disclosures,
Mail Point 555,
Kentigern House,
65 Brown Street,
Glasgow,
G2 8EX

Records cost about £30 and you have to prove your relationship to the person. It can take anything up to about 10 months to get the records.

I don't have the service number. Will this affect my search? And actual date of birth will differ from the date of birth Duncan gave when enlisting, will it still be possible for me to get the records from he MOD
