- Mil-UK-Ireland & UK-British Army ..... Surviving records of those discharged after 1922 ~ stored in the Ministry of Defence Record Office CS(R)2b at Bourne Avenue, Hayes, Middlesex UB3 1RS. This includes territorial, volunteer, militia and home-defence forces and some colonial forces. Information on these service records could be obtained by application to: Ministry of Defence Records Office CS(R)2, Bourne Avenue, Hayes, Middlesex UB3 1RF, United Kingdom. {Telephone ++44 0208 573 3831}. They will send you an application form that will require a search fee per each inquiry. Payment of the search fee does not guarantee a successful result. The MOD now requires applicants to certify that they are the individual concerned or their next of kin, together with a copy of the death certificate, as appropriate. There is reportedly a long delay in getting the response which will be a statement of service and not copies of the original documents.

There are also several certificates for deaths at sea.
