Service Records

Hi,

Would just like to inquire why my Uncle's RAF service records can not be opened or accessed.

He was in WW2 from 1943 to 1946 and also went to Vietnam from 1965 to 1970.

Need help with this.

I have all my Poppa's and Great Uncles Service Records from WW!, but can't seem to open any from my Uncle.

Thanks

Cheryl, His record may not be online as yet but you can request a copy now for a fee - I have heard that eventually WW2 records will be put online but that will take a long while

You can access them free if you live near Canberra

Hi Elizabeth,

Thank you so much for your reply, unfortunately I live in Adelaide and have only been to Canberra once and did go the War Memorial, and was absolutely amazed.

I will look forward to seeing records on line.

Cheers

Cheryl

Cheryl, You can check the Nominal Roll listing which is a summary of his service via the following link

make sure you select Vietnam War in the drop down box on the right & then add his name to the search
