Application time for WW2 Service Records
« on: Saturday 13 June 20 08:43 BST (UK) »
I have searched through but not found any recent comments - has anyone applied to the MOD for Service Records this year, and how long is it taking to get the results? (especially now with the COVID problem)

I am Zoe Northeast, granddaughter of Maximilian Double.
 
It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,
Zoe

My experience with orders was some years ago. I don’t know what the current wait time is, but presume it could be substantial as a lot of people must be at home doing research at the moment, and likely to be placing orders for service records.

Hopefully someone who has ordered recently will be able to give you up to date information.  :)
