I got my Dad's WW2 RAF records via RAF Innsworth. Glos. They charged me £30.00 even tho I was only next of kin. Seems like the Army don't charge then.......that seems unfair, lol. Oh well.........good luck with ya search...............you'll get there in the end am, sure

Kew is a good day out Dizzi., it can be quite daunting if you dont know how it all works etc. You can waste half the day finding your way round their systems etc and how it all works.

Bad luck you never found what you was looking for. Are you looking for Army records related to your family? If so, I can let you have the address of where to write to, assuming we're talking UK.
