Hi Keith,

Re: Maritime Royal Artillery/ DEMS
Royal Artillery Maritime Regt DEMS gunners records are not held at Kew, they are still held by the MOD. The only way to find out what Merchant ships he served on is if his Maritime Card is still in his service file. A lot don't exist anymore. You would need to ask specifically for this Maritime Card when applying for his records. https://www.gov.uk/get-copy-military...-elses-records

Thansk DeepSea,
somehow I think that could be fun! I do not have a service number - could they do it from a d.o.b. (always assuming he signed up under his real name!)?

Actually, if he did sign on with a merchant ship as a " deck hand ", those records are at the KEW as I have explained above...Attachment 28604Attachment 28605

Hi Doc,
The years I would be looking for would be 1940/41. Dad's Mum's maiden name was Burt.
Re: Maritime Royal Artillery/ DEMS
They have a list but that date not included Hazel ??
Your search is one of complexity for sure!
Cheers
