Paul Reed Posted 15 March , 2003 Share Posted 15 March , 2003 Only the dead on the CWGC site. A friend here in France is also working on a database using SA records of all those who were killed. Service records are available in SA - but I don't have an address; maybe someone else does? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CROONAERT Posted 16 March , 2003 Share Posted 16 March , 2003 Dave - is there a fee payable for the records and what do you get - a photocopy? There is a (very reasonable)fee payable, but I think that the service may be free to relatives. You do get a photocopy of all the records that they possess (seeing as most SA records exist,this can be quite substantial). For example on the one that I applied for,I got his attestation form,casualty form (X3),record of units and promotions,notes on his hospitalisation,a letter to his wife stating his place of burial and even a copy of his will! In total I received about 14 sheets. Its a few years since I applied,but remember it all costing me around £6. - Not bad!!! Conor. I don't think they have a website.If they do, I'm afraid I don't know it - sorry! Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
