Member Since: April 2013 Posts: 18 Send Message	I am new to GR and with the kind help of the `researchers` have started my family tree. My father Albert Reginald Ward dob 18/03/27 was in the army and may have been in the above regiment possibly from 1943 ish. Please can someone tell me how I can check this out. Thank you

	No documents are online for those who served after 1920, you have to write off for them as they are still with MOD. It costs £30 and you have a wait several months for the service record. Here's the link http://www.veterans-uk.info/service_records/service_records.html
