You have to prove that you are a next of kin, they will then require a £25-00 release fee. The address is The Aemy Personnel Centre, Historical Disclosures, Mailpoint 400, Kentigern House,65 Brown Street, Glasgow G2 8 EX. Expect a very long wait for this service. Good luck; Ernest P

	Hi, I have my great grandfather's marriage certificate, it has the number 132154, he was a gunner in the Royal Garrison Artillery and fought in the great war. Where would I be able to find his military records? Lucia
