    HMT Aquitania - War Brides Voyage

    Does anyone know the history, or know anyone who was on the voyage of the HMT Aquitania 'last of the four stacked liners' from Australia to England, arriving in England around Jan 1946.

    My Grandad was on this voyage returning from duty having served at HMS Golden Hind Barracks just outside sydney. We have a book of autographs from this voyage, and be interested if anyone remembers being on this voyage.

    THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES
    -your guide to ressources

    The National Archives has a huge collection of records dealing with Britain's military history. Whatever period you are studying, we will hold documents that reveal strategy, equipment and the experience of those that fought.

    You might be looking for an individual serviceman or woman's record. If this is the case, you can make things easier for yourself by bringing some details with you. These starting points will help you find the individual you are after.
    Make sure you have as full a version of the name as possible - it will be easier to identify 'Thomas George Victor Atkins' if you have the full name - there may be dozens of 'T. Atkins'.
    Find out which of the services the individual served in - the army, Royal Navy (including Royal Marines) or Royal Air Force. Any further details of the regiment and battalion, ship or squadron will also speed things up.
    Find out when the person served; pre First World War, First World War and after 1920 are the loosest categories, but again, the more detail you can provide the better. Enlistment and demobilisation dates are particularly helpful.
