Contact the Army Records Office if the peron you are tracing was in the British army. The Army Records Office at Hayes is the authority for all enquiries concerning the records of ex-servicemen. Records date from 1914 and go up to 1992, after which records are held by individual units. Initial enquiries should be made by letter or fax to:
The Army Records Office
Bourne Avenue
Hayes
Middlesex

When enquiring about an individual, as much of the following information should be included:
- Full Name

The Records Office will then send the enquirer a Declaration of Kinship form which must be completed and returned before the search continues. A charge of £20 is made for each search and a turnaround time of about 2 months should be expected.
