Useful Addresses

Frequent requests are aimed at those seeking information on military personnel records or specific combat units. These are held in the Ministry of Defence, Polish Section. However, the process and access can be a little long and tedious. The Sikorski Institute in London contains a comprehensive archive. For government-based records, the Public Records Office in Kew London contains a vast array of material, particularly on the SOE.

Please remember some of these listed institutions are charities and do not have unlimited resources. Charges may be made to copy records etc, however, donations ease their running costs and would be appreciated.
