	All the info you need is here: https://www.gov.uk/get-copy-military-records-of-service Records are free if they're from the MOD, but there may be a fee for those which are now with the National Archives. MOD is gradually passing them all over to the NA. It can take several weeks for records to arrive. Yes, you need the death certs.
