Gordon Highlanders POW Servce Records WWW11
Hi, my husbands father was a POW WWW11 at Stalag XXB at Marienburg and lucky he survived, he was in the Gordon Highlanders could any tell me where the Service Records are held?? Have tried the Gordon Highlanders Museum but they don't know and were not that helpful which was a bit sad. Liz Hutchison

Re: Gordon Highlanders POW Servce Records WWW11
Hello Liz,
WW2 British Army service records are still held by Ministry of Defence. Here’s info about applying for the records of a deceased serviceman. http://www.mod.uk/DefenceInternet/About ... sonnel.htm
The information is available free to the serviceman, and if deceased, his widow. Fully available at a price to immediate next of kin and degree of access to others depends on date of death. Proof of death is required, and possibly also of kinship.
A bit more here from the Army Personnel Centre. http://www.army.mod.uk/welfare-support/family/6980.aspx
All the best,
Alan
