Good evening, This is my very first post & im looking for a little help. I’ve just started to research my grandfather Henry Charles Hall b.1911 who was in the Royal Artillery and I’m about to send off for his Service Record. I know there is a £30 administration fee but I can’t find who I have to make the cheque payable to? Or do I just leave it blank? I’ve searched the Gov site, on here and google but I can’t find it anywhere. Hope it’s not a too silly question Thank you for reading
Hi It states on forms - Cheques should be made payable to “The MOD Accounting Officer” when searches of the RN/RM or Army service records are requested.

Should be on the form. Just checked - put “The MOD Accounting Officer” on it if it’s for army records.
If your grandmother is still alive you could apply on her behalf and then it won’t cost you a penny. I did that for one of my great granddad’s records.
Omg, so it does!! I’ve looked everywhere but the small box at the bottom. Thought I was going mad. Thank you dbf!
Aw, thank you for your advice but unfortunately they are both dead. My dad’s getting on abit now & I want to get grandads war contribution documented & find out all I can from/ for him before it’s too late.
