Roseanne,

You can try this link

Would love to see my Grandfather's service record. Do you have to send any identification, payment etc?

First of all Saar, you have to write to the address below, you will then receive forms to fill in as proof of identification which you send off, together with the person's death certificate, and a cheque for £20.00

Warning : If they can't find his record you don't get your money back, I'm afraid, it depends how important it is to you.
