Subject: RE: BS: Forces War Records (UK related)
My father was in the RAF during and after WW2 . My partner Nicola's father was a doctor in the RAF during WW2 . My grandfather was a soldier in the RASC in WW1 ,AND a Petty Officer in the Royal Naval Armoured Car Division. Nicola's grandfather was an engineer officer in the Royal Navy and was present when HMS Andes ( later RMSP Atlantis )engaged and helped to sink a German "Q" ship off Norway in 1916.

YET ; I have been unable to trace the records of ANY of these people by using Forces War Records !!!! The same goes for the records of the three RAF "Padres" who were killed when Dad crashed at Dum Dum in 1946 !!!

Forces War Records ??? RUBBISH !!!!
