	This is the address to send to for army records. You need the person's name, regiment and army number. The cost is about £30, but it has to be the nearest living relative to the person who applies. Army Personnel Centre Historical Disclosures Mail Point 400 Kentigern House 65 Brown Street GLASGOW G2 8EX Kath. x

	Christine, The Veterans Agency has the answers. They tell you how to get a service record, and you can download the form to apply. www.veteransagencymod.uk (remove &replace with.) Good luck Jacquie
