bobbluesboy Posted 18 July , 2006 Share Posted 18 July , 2006 Hi James.It depends in what part of the Navy he served.If he served in the RNR,Royal Naval Reserve or the RND they should be able to help.If a regular in the Royal Navy then his service record should be available on line.If RNVR,Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, but not RND the Public Record office in Kew needs to be accessed.All the best Bob.

horatio2 Posted 19 July , 2006 Share Posted 19 July , 2006 The enlistment papers are those that are signed when a man joins up - similar to attestation. His record of service (TNA) is a formal summary of his total service. The FAA Museum holds many tens of thousands of early 20th Century enlistment papers, bound in ledgers. Drop me e-mail with his service number and I may be able to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
