HELP FOR MRES
Permalink   


 I would like to ask you some information about the documents MRES.

 In particular I would like to find the MRES of crew of a Wellington X that crashed in  Italy during ww2.

 Crew: two Canadian (1 officer and one sergeant) , and three British  (1 officer and two sergeants).

 Where can I find documents MRES?

 thanks for the help

The MRES documents in the UK are not available for public access at this time (I believe the files are closed for 99 years). However, the RAF Air Historical Branch have the discretion to release limited extracts from the reports to next of kin (once next of kinship has been proven). We have just been through this procedure for our research and were required to provide death certificates etc.

I am not an expert on Canadian crew , but I believe that you may be able to gain more information by selecting the Canadian airmen involved and seeking information from the Canadian authorities. Hopefully others may have gone through this procedure and will be able to give you some direction.

Hope this helps

Regards

Pete
