You've obviously found your way around the catalogue. You have presumably clicked on 'your' entry. Now simply click the "Request This" button.

Then make your choice. Printed is the cheapest. Digital is for those who can't wait ;)

I had 3 army records sent to me digitally, and they give you an estimate of cost first. Mine cane to a few pounds for all 3 records.

That's good, I did this the other day, typed in an ancestors surname, press search and hey presto there he was, paid my money and downloaded, all in about ten minutes, I couldn't wait, although they allow 56 days for it to be downloaded, gave a bit of a description as well, colour of hair, eyes and what the height was, year of birth where born. Terrific.
Cheers
Ted.

I wasn't knocking you. Just trying to make sure the questioner was aware of the available options.
