Advice Offered On All Areas of Military Research
Have you ever wondered what Dad or Granddad did during the War?
Do you have relatives who served in the Army, the Navy or the Air Force about whom you'd like to know more?
I can help. Do get in touch via the Contact form, let me know what you'd like to find out, and I can advise you from there.
Did your ancestor Charge with the Light Brigade? Relieve Mafeking?
Or was he the steady, reliable and vital chap in charge of the stores at Aldershot?
Was he caught up in the First World War?
And which of your family lived through the Second World War?
Were they Officers or Other Ranks? Sappers? Gunners? Pilots? Ground crew? Stokers? Merchant sailors? Prisoners of War?
Do you have a family member's campaign medals and would you love to know what he went through for them, while his wife and parents and children back home huddled under the kitchen table and faced down the bombs falling all around them?
Or perhaps your man served after WW2...
