Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, which of the collations of service records maintained by the National Archives covers personnel from (a) officer ranks and (b) other ranks from the Caribbean Regiment serving in the British Army at the end of the Second World War.

The Ministry of Defence is transferring historic service personnel records to The National Archives over a 6-year period. The majority of military service personnel records transferred to The National Archives to date cover a period before the creation of the Caribbean Regiment in 1944 although collation 11005 does include earlier records of service personnel from the Caribbean who served in the British Army, including between the First and Second World Wars.
