The next-of-kin are able to request a copy of the soldiers records. The cousin can apply if they enclose a letter of authority from the nok, together with a copy of the death certificate, and details of date of birth, full name and service number of the soldier.
Write to:
Army Personnel Centre
Support Division
Historical Disclosures
Mail Point 55
Kentigern House
65 Brown Street
Glasgow
G2 8EX
United Kingdom of Great Britain
The enquirer may be sent an application form to complete and be asked for a £30.00 fee. I believe the fee is at the discretion of the clerk and may be waivered for family.
Also, due to the covid restriction there will be a delay. An enquiry taking three months to complete could now take six!
Please let me know what the cousin finds...
Good luck, Keith
