They are not viewable at the Museum as they are stored off site.<ref>[http://www.nam.ac.uk/sites/default/files/research-information-5.pdf National Army Museum Information Sheet 5: Researching Family History at the NAM] page 2</ref> Further details are provided in this [http://www.nam.ac.uk/collection/collection-news/soldiers-effects-records-1901-60 National Army Museum link]
