NAAFI / ATS
« on: Monday 07 October 24 17:26 BST (UK) »
Hi

I have a friend who's  great grandma was in the ATS / NAAFI during WW2 and just after. Based somewhere in the Norfolk / Suffolk area.  Does anyone know where I might get any records ?

Sorry can't name them; they've asked me not to so am looking for general information.

Thank you

During WW2 female staff of NAAFI were members of the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) so their records are held by the MOD, although they are now in the process of being transferred to the National Archives.

ATS Service records (1938-1949)

These records have been transferred to The National Archives as part of the Ministry of Defence service records project.

As they have only very recently been transferred, most of the records are currently unfindable in our catalogue. If you have been unable to find the record in our catalogue, you can make a Freedom of Information (FOI) request for access to this information using one of the below forms (charges may apply):

Form 1: Request your own record if you were born before or in 1939 (or if you are doing this on behalf of someone)

Form 2: Request military service records for a person born before 1909

Form 3: Request military service records for a person born between 1909 and 1939

Thank you very much for the information - I will forward it on.

Do you know what happened after the war ?
