Dads service history.
« on: Monday 09 June 14 21:40 BST (UK) »
Hi, can anyone help me i want to get my dads service history, he was born Patrick Delaney 16 Albion st Jarrow co Durham in 1923 so he wouldn't have joined untill 1941. He married my Mam in Leicester in 1948 dont know when he came to Leicester and have no idea what regiment he would have been in. He died in 1978. We did have 1 pic of him in a group shot my sister said it's in Burma.Is it possible to obtain them on line.Thanks for any help. :)

Unlikely.  You can request his service record from the MOD https://www.gov.uk/requests-for-personal-data-and-service-records.  Cost £30 and wait a year for his record to arrive.

No.  Just his name and date of birth will do.
