Default FYI Service Records

Hi. I received a letter confirming that
National Archives received my letter of
request for records. I called the toll
free
number to enquire about $payment.

CHARGES: vary according to size of file.
Could cost anywhere from a little and up to
$40...rough estimate. They'll send an
INVOICE for cost and payment.

PHOTOS: If there are any photos in the
files they WILL be copied and sent as well
(request them in the original letter of request
to them)

WAIT: expect 6 to 8 weeks wait for records.
Special circumstance I think they can `rush'.

========
War Amps could not find an individual photo
of my Uncle to show in `Take No Prisoners'.
I assume they checked his personnel files too
so I may not get a photo from there.
========

CONDUCT UNBECOMING: AMAZING in not only telling
what happened, but also giving the background info on both the Canadian 3rd Division and The 12th SS Hitler Youth and their `meeting up'.

I keep thinking about how my Uncle and the men with him had got so far from the landing on Juno... they must have been very lucky, and very skilled to have survived and made it as far from the beach as they did.
