I did read a post however which talked about service records of deceased serviceman which had been 'weeded' from MOD archives. I just hope this fate has not befallen the records I am looking for!

Hi Angela:
I've just noticed that I inadvertently posted a link previously in this thread, which was incorrect. I have edited it to include the proper link, which follows.

When you say 'deleted from MOD archives' you are referring to
Ministry of Defense archives, right?

Hi Frances,
Yes, I read in a thread on Rootschat referring to the Ministry of Defence Service and pension records that they 'weeded the files for deaths around/before 1946 and kept a few for samples'
Hope its not necessarily the case??!!

PS re Pandabean's link - I did manage to locate it previously and it's very informative and useful. Thanks!!
