I contacted Brian about an old RAF tin chest found in my late fathers home. within hours he had found a significant amount of information as to its owner and history. incredibly efficient and informative. Thank you so much . Highly recommended. Andy.
Astonishing level of research undertaken on my great uncle by Military History Research which has enabled me to visit the local war memorial carrying his name (& his brother’s) which I did not know existed!! Fully recommend. Thanks. Rod.
