A word of warning on these records. The records me held as paper for all armed forces but a few years a go there was a fire at the records office (Hayes Middlesex) and many papers got burned, destroyed or singed.
When you do a search you will see what has been scanned to date. For example, my father requested his father's service records and these are there to see because they were micro Fisched when he made his request even though the original were mainly destroyed in the fire. But his records are not on yet. The Aussie's father's records are not on line. So just because there is nothing returned doesn't mean that there is nothing.
