[Jennie Moss]

I dont know if this question has been asked before but I'm  trying to find my late fathers service records with out any success he was a submariner from 1947-1954 does anyone know if there is such a website ?

[ScouseBoy]

No, there is not a website.

but you can write to the Ministry of Defence and request a copy of his records.

Do you know which Naval Base was his home port?

It's a very simple form, my brother managed it all by himself for our father's records - he only got the place of birth wrong, but MOD managed to locate the record, because the name wasn't very common.

I secured my late father's army record. It is a simple form but it did take some time. There is a large backlog of a high volume of such requests. The MOD did write and warn me it would take time.

Good luck.
