Please advise any corrections or additions and I will be pleased to update the list. Squadron and Unit Associations There used to be a comprehensive list of Squadron, Unit and Miscellaneous Associations here, but In order to avoid unnecessary duplication of information, Frank Haslam and I have agreed that he will maintain the list, which is available from his web page. Six - at your local main library, find the telephone directory for the area and list all the names corresponding to the one you seek. If it's an unusual or uncommon name, this obviously helps a lot. This is set in beautiful grounds approximately half a mile south of Kew Bridge, and is signposted.
Staff here are invariably extremely helpful, and the security is strict although unobtrusive.
When amassing information, a visit to the Public Records Office at Kew, London, is essential. Using the facilities at Kew is free, but you need to obtain a Reader's Ticket. This is a painless procedure for which you will need some ID such as driving licence, passport etc. Non-UK nationals may also be issued with a Reader's Ticket. In the records you will find details of postings in and out, losses, general info which will help you build a picture of your man and even obtain such information as his Service Number.
