Dear Ministry of Defence,

I am writing from Australia seeking the release of British Army records for soldiers born in 1901. My grandfather served in the British Army up until about 1928. I have not been able to access his British Army records because I do not know his full date of birth nor regimental number. It is a a great sadness to my family that we know almost nothing about my grandfather and his service in the British Army. As 116 years have passed since 1901 I respectfully ask that the British Army records for soldiers born in 1901 be released to the public. I would then be able to search the records and hopefully locate my grandfather's records.

Yours faithfully,

Carolyn Quinn (nee O'Flaherty)

Dear DBS KI-RR FOI (MULTIUSER),
Hello again from Australia,
As previously mentioned, I do not have my grandfather James O'Flaherty's full date of birth (born 1901) nor British Army service number and so to date I have not be able to access his MOD records. In your response of 25 January 2018, you very kindly suggested I provide you with further information about my grandfather to help you identify his British Army Service file. Please refer to my email to you of 30 January 2018 in which I provided you with further information. I am very grateful for your response.

Yours sincerely,

Carolyn
