The form is titled:-

SEARCH DOCUMENT
Application Part 2 - Army Specific

and the previous quote is under the seven blank boxes of DETAILS OF DECEASED SERVICEMAN/WOMAN.

I have the form in front of me as I type.
Active links are now (after 13/04/2018) indicated by bold red italics. Just click on them.
The only stupid question is the one not asked

WILSON; Lancs, Lanrks.
BERRY; Lancs.
BORASTON; Salop, Worcs,
TYLER; Salop, Herefords.

How are you getting on with your application? I too don't have the service number, and on the form it has an asterisk against service number to say it's compulsory.

Sorry but you are not reading the note correctly.

Edited
You have the option of supplying either a service number AND a date of birth OR just a date of birth

OK

So you might like go to Abe Books website

This was my purchase:

The Girls Who Went to War
by Barrett, Duncan
Price: £ 1.89
Shipping: £ 0
Subtotal: £ 1.89

Girls in Khaki: A History of the ATS in the Second World War
by Green, Barbara
Price: £ 4.43
Shipping: £ 2.80
Subtotal: £ 7.23

There is a lot about individuals in there - sadly nothing on my Aunt who as Major lead the ATS Platoon on the VE Day March past with Alsatian dog mascot - I had a photo of her but cannot now find it.

They are very cheap. You won't be disappointed.

Let me know if you turn anything up on Major Mary H Yarwood WRAC - formerly Subalt M H Yarwood ATS - Ack  Ack at Bude Cornwall for some of her service but also in the Eastern Med. Palestine, Cyprus, Egypt.

https://www.unithistories.com/officers/Army_officers_Y01.html. - will give you a little about her and maybe a few others.

Good luck - I will keep my fingers crossed - wearing her ATS hat on Friday!

Thanks for the book details Colin––I'll certainly do as you suggest and order these publications. I haven't done much family history work for a while: this might renew the obsession! And I'll be sure to look out for any mention of your aunt
