    Hi everyone,
    I know this one has been possibly done to death many times, so I will keep it simple.

    Can I get a 'Service Record' of a person or not?

    I am not NOK, nor relative
    Cannot get a copy Death Cert
    He served in Army 1941-47
    Born 1903. Died 1979 in USA
    I have his Service Number

    I find MOD web site a bit confusing about just who can obtain a record.

    Thanks
    Alan

    Yes, but you will need to show the MoD proof of death. It doesn't have to be a death certificate. A picture of his headstone will be enough assuming he was buried or a copy of the funeral invoice. If you are still struggling give them a call at Glasgow, I found them very helpful when I spoke to them.

    Regards
    Andy

    Thanks Andy,
    I will see what the family can produce and if they wish to request records. Of course the fee will need to be paid.
