Regarding the requirement to provide a copy of the persons death certificate, will a scan of the original or an electronic version from the GRO be acceptable?

No, a scan is not acceptable, but  they will return the certificate to you with the records.

Ok...thanks to all. I'll get in touch with my relative and see if he has his father's death certificate and take it from there.

And thank you to Imber.  I was unaware that the rules had changed so I think my first genalogy task in 2019 will be to send for a copy of those service records!  Merry Christmas  :)
