Further Information on personnel: The RNPS Association holds no records about individual members' service or medal entitlements. The main record of service is the form S-459 which records name,
next of kin, postings, rating, etc. and is a potted account of each member's
entire service. The original document was handed over to the member on discharge
and there is no duplicate on file. Only brief details are likely to be recorded
in the Ministry of Defence archives and so this prime record is the main source
of any detail and only likely to be found amongst the member's personal possessions. |
