Hi again
Was wondering where i would be able to find Army records of my gr grandfather...Simon F Munro i know he served in 1895 in Queens Own Cameron Highlanders and was stationed in Gibralter and later I think in Sth Africa, and was then in Royal Scots Regiment (where he was killed) in Gallipoli in 1915 , October 21st....He held the rank of Sgt Major....in between the wars he was a cable car driver in Edinburgh...
Hoping some one may know something
Cheers

Hello again Craizi,
If you go to the Commonwealth War Graves commission site http://www.cwgc.org/ you will get the information below & the service No etc, could help when you search further.
This site might help in your search http://www.army.mod.uk/contacts/divisions/records.htm but I think that you might have to go in person to get what you want. If you cannot do that then there are researchers who specialise in Army records search.
I hope that is of some help.
Don

Hi Craizi,
Try this address ADOdiscl4ado11.civsec[at]APC.ARMY.MOD.UK and give as much info as you can. It is in Glasgow.
Also I see that you have Munros in Oz. As the rep of the Clan Munro in Australia I put out a newsletter 3 times a year with a Genealogy section which is open to all Munros. So, if you have some missing Munros in the antipodes, just let me know & Iwill publish your query - next issue, April,
Regards Don
