	I obtained my Dad's service record - if you phone 0141 224 2335 - they should take your name and address and send you an application form. I think the cost was £30. Liz

	In the site that was given - http://www.veterans-uk.info/service_records/army.html - there are forms to download and complete. The system now is that each document relating to a person's service record is photocopied and provided to the applicant.
