Hey sycamore,
Thanks for that. I applied for his records through the GOV.com portal 2 weeks ago, but they said that it could take upwards of 8 months! Since they waived the admin fee, in I think 2020, they have drastically lengthened their response time.
Is there a separate avenue for requests from family members? My Mum is the only surviving family now, other than my sister & I, but I just provided what was requested, being service number, full name, rank & D.O.B / D.O.D.
Hopefully that's all they need.
