===Army personnel serving after January 1921===
The Army Personnel Centre Historical Disclosures Section holds Army Service records for officers whose service ended after April 1922 and soldiers whose service ended after January 1921. (Note, some documentation has been seen which gives the holding ''from'' April 1922, and ''from'' January 1921, respectively.)
:'''Update''': May 2018. Foot Guards Regiments service records are a separate category and all, (including pre 1921 records), were moved from regimental archives to the Ministry of Defence, August 2017-May 2018, except for Scots Guards service records, which remain in the regimental archives.
Note however that some records may not have survived, such as some records for those who were awarded a disability pension,<ref>
*For help in interpreting the records, the Ministry of Defence archived webpage, [https://web.archive.org/web/20170821062907/https://www.army.mod.uk/welfare-support/23212.aspx Army Personnel Centre] contains a link (on the right hand side of the webpage, towards the top) to a list of Useful Abbreviations.
