Applying for my Dad’s Service Record

[Anstey Nomad]

Morning all!

I know Marg from Burton has done this. Has anybody else?

I’m filling in the forms at the moment and it says “A copy of the serviceman’s/woman’s Death Certificate if he/she died following discharge from the service.”

I don’t have my Dad’s original Death Certificate, I have the certified copy I got from the Register Office later. Do I send this, or can I just send a photocopy?

If I send my certified copy, will they return it to me?

Does anyone know?

Thanks

I applied for my grandfather's and sent a photocopy of his death cert which wasn't the orginal one issued but one I sent for when I started my research.

I'm sure we sent photocopies. I asked Dave this morning after you texted me and he says we sent photocopies.

I've applied for a few and have always sent photocopies

They just want to confirm your father has died so a photo copy would do I think.

Sorry for delayed response. Thanks everyone.
