The wrens
« on: Thursday 18 March 10 08:21 GMT (UK) »
My Fathers aunt Joyce served with the wrens, i was wondering where she may have been posted (were they posted abroad)? And if anyone knows of any sites that may have photo's.
Thanks

Her service records will give you all that information. Nearest next of kin can apply, not sure what the cost is though.

When I was in the process of obtaining my mothers service records 7 years ago, I think the cost was at the time 30 pound.

Cheers

 I came across a site that says about N.O.K can obtain records but would i be allowed? My father is not interested in researching history and her siblings have all passed on, and she was never married nor had any children.
