Has anyone ever purchased these?

I've e-mailed for a quote, as the ones I'm looking for haven't been digitized, but until I get a reply, I'd quite like an idea of general costs beforehand.

Much as I'd love to go ahead and purchase the Officers' Records for John Kilgour Baker (yes, THAT John Kilgour Baker - the one who's commemorated everywhere) and much as many answers to many questions would probably be revealed ..... I won't be going ahead with the purchase.

In his file there are 58 pages (no doubt filled with lots of previously unknown information) but at a cost of £75.40, I'm afraid my budget simply won't stretch that far.

Thanks to the link Derek posted above (Arcre Archive Research & Document Copying), I'd like to let everyone know that ......

Just over a week from ordering copies, I am now the delighted recipient of 78 pages of Officer's Records for a grand total cost of £7.02!!!

I originally requested an estimate from NA for a file of 58 pages as stated on their index which as far as I knew, covered the complete file. The cost for these 58 pages was estimated at £75.40.

This file is for John Kilgour Baker and I can't wait to read through all the pages. I will finally (I hope) be able to fill in the gaps in his military career which has driven me, and no doubt a few others here, round the bend for (at least) 7 years!!

So folks, I can highly recommend this service and for all of us who have pondered over whether or not to purchase Officer's Record - all I can say now is - GO FOR IT!

AT THIS SORT OF PRICE - ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!

Anne Very Happy

Great to hear of your happy result Anne,

I've been as much delighted with the service as yourself.

Cheers,
Derek.

Thanks for the 'heads up' on a very competitively priced researcher.

Anne
Enjoy!
