Title: Army Number
Post by: scouse_mouse_2000uk on Thursday 14 November 19 16:47 GMT (UK)

Hi, my father did his National Service in 1956, with the Welch Fusiliers. I can't access his records as I don't have his army number. How do I go about finding this number? Any help would be welcome. Thank you in advance.

You do not need his service number just his date of birth  :) . It asks for either

Thank you. When I emailed them directly, they told me it couldn't be done. Will give it another go.

Is this the form you are completing  :-\

* SERVICE NUMBER AND/OR DATE OF BIRTH MUST BE INCLUDED

There are a few of us on here that have obtained records without the service number
