It took exactly one year to get my dads records.

 

thanks for that.I`ve just printed the relevant forms from the MOD webpage.

 

In case you might like to take a look at the 157 Fd Amb war diary, here's the reference to it at National Archives:

WO 177/742 157 Field Ambulance 1944 Aug.- 1946 Apr.

can i access this online?

 

Hi Steve

No you cant, but Lee above and and other person on this site go there and for a fee can get them for you, or you can go there yourself.
