Army births and baptisms - how get a copy of the original?

As per title, does anyone know how one would get a copy of the birth or baptism record as listed on the British Army Births and Baptisms index? You have a date, regiment, volume and page reference for each named entry.

If it’s a birth registration and you’re wanting the birth certificate, you need to use the GRO order form for Overseas Certificates. This allows free-form text entry in at least one of the fields, and you can enter the regiment there. The cost is £11.00 – there is no pdf option.

Thanks Bookbox. I was surprised to see Regimental births baptisms and marriages go back to 1761 and can be ordered through the GRO. I had assumed it would need a visit to the Imperial War Museum or National Archives.
