Military Personnel Records- Loss |

Dear Rich,
Your fears were realised in 1941 - the Germans downloaded incediary bombs on the store in Bermonsey, London holding the WW1 British soldiers papers - some 2/3rds out of 7 million records were destroyed. We have just stopped the MoD pulping soldiers enlistment ledgers covering the period 1919-1946. Fortunately these ledgers have been distributed to the respective military museum. |
