mattgibbs Posted 15 September , 2010 Share Posted 15 September , 2010 Wonder if this is any use? http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/details-result.asp?Edoc_Id=7091056&queryType=1&resultcount=15 Is the service number different to the number on the discharge sheet? I've been trying to look into one of my relatives service but so far to no avail, even though the search function is pretty good. ttfn Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
