I need to be able to go to the National Archives in Kew fairly urgently.
My dad is 90 at the beginning of December, during WW2 he won a DFM and he cannot remember what it was for (he has Alzheimers), we have the medal but not the citation, his service records including the citation are in the National Archives, I have made enquiries and I can gain access personally or I can pay the Archives (but their response time will make it too late) or I can pay a private researcher. Working out the costs it will be as cheap to come to London and camp for a couple of nights if I can find somewhere to stay that is within easy reach of Kew. I have a bus pass but my wife does not. has anyone got a suggestion for suitable places to stay
Thanks
Peter
