Re: 16.Military Research Enquiry Section

Hi Felix,

you are correct in that the individual casualty enquiries are inaccessible. At the National Archives (TNA), Kew, a new group was established within the AIR series a couple of years ago - AIR 81 - in the expectation that the files would eventually be transferred to that establishment.

Apparently a review was started a couple of years ago to determine the suitability of the records for early transfer to the TNA (the files were originally classified and protected by the 75 or 100 year rule). I do not know if this review has been finished but, in any event, no files have yet been transferred to TNA.

Cheers

Rod
