Government Links
This page lists websites run by Her Majesty’s Government which may prove useful.
- The Ministry of Defence and
- Other Government Departments, Agencies and service.
Notes:
- It is worth having a look at Wikipedia , quoting the formation you are interested in. It’s not always right, so check.
- British Army formation histories have also been listed in Doctor Wienand Drenth’s homepages which are some years old now and errors may not have been corrected.
MOD website
www.mod.uk/DefenceInternet/Home/
- All current Army Regiment & Corps websites can be found here, and some Regimental Associations. Also RN, RM and RAF formations.
- It is easier and simpler to quote this one website than to try and keep up with constant change.
MOD website for Veterans
http://www.mod.uk/DefenceInternet/DefenceFor/Veterans/
- Information about veterans’ service records
- Information about medals
- Information about service pensions
- …and much more
