Graham Bandy is your guide through the 32 miles of paperwork that are the World War 2 War Office Records for Personnel. Discover where to look for your relative’s WW2 records and find alternatives and other routes to them. Graham will show you the list of 34 regiments and corps for whom WW2 Medal Cards are “missing”, how to appeal for “non-existent” records, and then how to interpret them. A fascinating insight into the world of military paperwork and the layers that are available.
Graham Bandy has spent most of his life either in the army, in nursing, or doing both. He runs Living Military History and specialises in military history research and the identification of military photographs, uniforms and cap badges. He is the military expert at Family Tree magazine, the expert here at the SoG Armed Forces Advice Hour and a much sought after speaker at family history events. Graham is the author of two books: Identifying Cap Badges and Nursing at the Frontline: A WW2 Diary from North Africa and Italy.
