Yes, that's true. The records for service men & women after 1920 are still with the MOD. They will cost £30 for a copy and may take a number of months to arrive.

This is the link for obtaining UK service records:

My Grandfather Stanley Robson was a muscian in the RAF in WWII.
I have death certificate of his daughter and it states in 1943 he was L.A.C 920661 Royal Air Force (professional Musician). I paid a fee on War Forces Records and it is only giving me information about people who died in actionand Grandad survived the War.Somebody told me that I have to apply to the M.O.D. for the records, is this true?

Regards
