SRM Research Service …

In common with other regimental museums, we hold no personal service records of soldiers of any era.

Such as now survive for soldiers discharged before c. 1924 are held in the National Archives at Kew.

For soldiers discharged after c.1924, records are retained in Ministry of Defence archives at :

Army Historic Disclosures, Mailpoint 555, Kentigern House, Brown St., Glasgow, G2 8EX.
Next of kin may apply for details.

However, we do retain the services of a professional researcher who is able to access, for a fee, military, naval and air force records in The National Archives at Kew and elsewhere.

Records which may be accessed include :

campaign medal rolls from Waterloo to c. 1920
medal index cards for medal awards relating to 1914-18
gallantry cards for 1914-18 awards
service papers from 1754 – 1913 (very fragmentary for early period)
soldiers’ and officers’ service records for 1914-18
citations for some gallantry awards 1914-18 and 1939-45
naval service records c. 1800 – 1919
