Forces War Records isn't new, Toni - they are so old that the Advertising Standards Authority ruling against them has dropped off the ASA website after 5 years.

As others have said, apply to the MOD - it costs £30. The time it takes to receive the records had improved some time ago, but in the last year or so, the time has extended. I'm still waiting for 2 sets of records I applied for at the beginning of Aug 2019, and, in view of the current situation, there'll be a much longer delay

They are new to me Kate.

Thanks Ann. I'll tell Dad to buy it for me for Christmas, he might feel better about the expense that way and with some luck it might even arrive by Christmas 2021.

I applied in August last year and got them before Christmas - did they confirm receipt of your application?
