This is possibly the wrong avenue for this story, however it would appear that time after time we have comments from too many people of the lack of service from the army records Office when people are trying to research a relative's army service. All too often we have the cry " without a service nimber - it would take too long", or "it cannot be done". From what I can gather - even with a service number it takes around eight months to respond with pages of hieroglyphics. Most people do not have a PhD in funny writing and so the wait and the cost has to be written off as just another bureaucratic muddle, of which there are far too many.
It is now the year 2005 and I should have thought that ALL service personnel might have been listed on a computer somewhere - even Glasgow which - at the miniumum keystrokes would have produced the persons - name - number - date of birth - and all other relevant details of that person's service - too difficult perhaps ?

Or am I living in the past when we were issued with quill pens !
