Ken Lees Posted 30 September , 2012 Share Posted 30 September , 2012 Can anyone advise how to access service records of men who served as infantry in the Royal Naval Division in the Great War? Thanks, Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carb79 Posted 30 September , 2012 Share Posted 30 September , 2012 Ken, Look on the National Archives web site, under Documents Online, Royal Navy, you will see they have RND service records. These can be very comprehenvsie records. If your man was RN or RNVR then look under the records for those organisations as well. You can check his medal entitlement on Ancestry Do you have the name & number of the man you want to research? Regards, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Lees Posted 30 September , 2012 Author Share Posted 30 September , 2012 Thank you for all of the above responses. Steve, I have a name - Able Seaman R/3713 John Alfred Bailey, who died of wounds 5th Jan. 1918. I was making the enquiry on behalf of someone who asked if I could clarify the apparent discrepancies discussed in this thread: http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=185204 That made me realise that I have never tried to research a man of the RND, hence the reason for this thread, for future reference. As a result of the suggestions above I have more chance of appearing to know what I'm talking about if I am asked again. Thanks again, Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
