For anybody serving after about 1920, their records are still with the MOD!

See: https://www.gov.uk/requests-for-personal-data-and-service-records

There is a fee of £30, unless your mother or your dad applies.

While your father is alive only he can apply for his records. Neither you nor his spouse have any rights to his personal information. They normally require his 8 digit army number.

They normally require his 8 digit army number.

I obtained both of my parents records without this number so don't worry if you don't have it. 

I completed the forms for both of them and my mother who was early stage dementia signed them, they were both free.
