Royal Navy records
« on: Tuesday 31 March 15 04:02 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help me by sending me in the right direction to get by Uncles military records. He was in the Royal Navy from 1931 till approx 1948. Thank you in advance.

Try this site:
https://www.gov.uk/requests-for-personal-data-and-service-records

There is a fee of £30 and, unless he died in service, you need to supply a death certificate.

(Have done this twice recently!)


For anyone serving after 1920, all records are still with the MOD - they are not available online! :(

Thank you so much for this information. Just after I posted the question I found various sites and am going to send for the records.
