ox and bucks regiment
« on: Thursday 13 April 06 18:52 BST (UK) »
anyone know of direct way to access the records of a serving member prior to 1920?  the archives people seem to be full of jobsworths and obstructive.  there shld be a simple way of sending in your request with the fee and having copies of records sent back as per the register office system for births, marriages and deaths.  all you get back from the archives people is a ton of guff and a list of pro's who will do the search for you for a fee..... comments?
