hi there,
Make sure that your T.A was not i the Cold Stream Guards, they have a different address to send of for the records, as i sent for it in glasgow, but they sent it back to me and gave me an address in London, they were really great and i received my grandads service records for 1924. they were very interesting and quite revealing.
Either way, you have to next of kin or conected to. You have to download a form from the website and then sent it with your payment. It tells you what relation you can be to get them
thanks

army service records after 1920 are only available to service personal unless deceased then they are available to next if kin

update
The records of Officers and Other ranks from 1920 onwards, including those still serving, are held at the Army Personnel Centre, (APC) in Glasgow. Access to these records may be requested through the Veterans Section of the Army Website www.army.mod.uk . Go to “Welfare and Support” at top right, then to “Family Support” near top left of the next page and from there to "Veterans Agency" on the right of the screen. Here you will find advice about medals and how to access Service Records as well as the number for a free Helpline service.

I am thinking it would be during the period 1920's to 1950's

Could anyone please tell me how to access T.A. records or if indeed this is possible.

I am trying to find out if a relative had a T.A. career and whether there are any details of when they died.

Thanks to anyone who can help.
