Duke of York Military School Records?
« on: Tuesday 11 September 12 11:20 BST (UK) »
Hi

Hope someone can point me in the right direction? I have done a search on here but couldnt find any relevant links.  My grandfather was sent to the Duke of York Military School in c.1919 aged 10ish.  Is there anywhere I can find/apply for his records? Would they still exist?

Thanks for your help.

Have you tried googling the Duke of York´s Academy.?
I had  the  children of an ancestor who were sent there in the very early 1800s when it was a sort of orphanage for children of dead soldiers.
I found the records of admission & discharge for them but have no idea how far the records go.
Always worth a look.
