Maybe you will have to wait until they get to The W's have you tried the PRO site for the mariners Earwig?

I will find the url for you if you don't know it.

it's British Army Service Records They are New and updated

It does help if you have the service number but not necessary.....I found yet another address mine was living at. A verification of a half sister's birthdate of my fathers also of marriage and other places of abode etc.

There were abt 20 pages of info on My Grandfather.

Thank you for your help.

I've browsed around and found it.
My goodness, ....so much there.

I am helping to find information for a one name study so I daren't have more than a quick peep for now, or Saturday will be gone !

Thanks again.

Gwyn if you go to your main page on the right hand side is a box says Military Records click and go in that way . That is what I did.

Where should I be looking???

I looked when I saw mention of this in a newsletter but couldn't find anything 'new'.

Is this separate from the pensions info?

Gwyn

I found one the other day not direct ancestor but in the tree. Like you say what a lot of info.
Great stuff.
Am I right they have only done upto C can't wait for more to go on.

Mine didn't go to war, they were building ships but I have found details for others

Has anyone-else found their ancestor on there?

I don't think they have all been put up there yet but they are certainly up to the C/Ds

I found mine and Wow!! what a lot of confirming details I found, and lots of surprises too, Not all that was expected either.

One document I found was a letter from a Mother asking for details on a soldier as he was taking too much interest in her daughter. Her husband had died in the war ( name number and regiment supplied ) and she was having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that her 16 year old may be consorting with a married man. Eye opener that one was, lol
