For many years staff at the Record Office, Hayes have handled requests for information relating to ex-Army personnel but, with effect from 1 July 2002, the work will be undertaken by staff at the Army Personnel Section (APC) at Glasgow.

Army casework which is already in the pipeline on 1 July will be dealt with by staff at Hayes but requests arriving on or after that date will be transferred to colleagues at APC and you will be advised of the transfer. The address for all new requests is:

Casework currently carried out by staff at Hayes relating to Royal Navy and Polish ex-service personnel records will continue as before, although plans are being made to relocate this work too.
