Armed Forces / Re: Help to understand a RAF record

Wow, thank you so much everyone! The conduct assessment is what confused me as when I have seen other records the boxes weren't anywhere near as full ;D So would he have received calling-up papers? I don't know where he was actually living at the time would it have been within the UK? Under the first picture it says that GVE incompatible with education claims - what does this mean? and the forms they refer to would these have been destroyed?
Thank you again everyone!!!

Armed Forces / Help to understand a RAF record

I have my Grandfathers RAF record (attached below) from 1947-1952 however I am having trouble understanding what some of it means and have a few questions.

The forms they refer to is there a record of these forms or will they have been destroyed?
What documents will he have needed during these times to sign up?
Would they have ensured his next of kins were who he said they were or would they have taken his word for it?

I know my grandfather wasn't best behaved so please don't worry about revealing what some of it may have been!! ;D

Hi all,

Thanks for all the information. When digging further through my grandads stuff I found a copy of a baptism record - looks like it was a copy given out in 1955.

It states that he was baptised in the church St Marys, Carrick-on-Shannon in December 1927 - however I cannot find the record anywhere!

Any ideas as to where I might be able to find the original Baptism record?

I have attached the copy   :) Thank you again

Hi,

That's excellent, thank you!! I have attached the birth certificate I have but thats about the only information I have - someone might spot something on there I haven't!

I will look into everything sent!

Thanks again!

That’s brilliant, thank you - any idea as to why the name might have been changed?

My Grandad was born in the district hospital in Jamestown, Carrick-on-Shannon in 1927. I have both parents names (Michael Collins and Teresa Quinn) however this is all I know and/or can find about them, any ideas on how I can find out more?

Im a beginner and no one in my family knows anything about my grandads family.

Thank you for any help  :)
