Hello ,Not sure whether this request would be classed as off topic,
As I am building my Family Tree I have decided to apply to the Ministry of
Defence for the records of my father who died during World War 2 - I have
some forms which I was given some time ago and this gives an Administration
charge of £30.00, I wonder if anyone can tell me whether this charge remains
the same or whether there has been an increase - either way I will request
these as I am also hoping that because he was a regular soldier in the North
Staffordshire Regiment during the late 1920s to early 1930s, this would give
that information, He also served in India during those years. The little
information that I have it appears that he was on 'Reserve' and that he was
immediately taken back into the Army on the outbreak in 1939.
Re - Find my Past - On this I look at the Cheshire, Staffordshire and
Monmouthshire Lists and quite a lot of what I look for doesn't seem to be
there, my query is - are these areas still being sorted or am I doing
something wrong - can't think what this would be though as I think that I
follow the instructions properly.
Anyway, I would be most grateful for any help on these 2 queries
Best Regards Lilian
