What exactly are Attestation forms?

Posted

In the UK, they were the papers completed when enlisting in the Armed Forces. A legal document signed by the applicant and witnessed by the Recruiting Officer.

Would the forms show information like age, birth place, parents names. The ones I am looking at are from the mid 1800s.  I  found them for download but at a cost $ . I want to use them to verify my great-grandfather.

Yes British ones do - address, physical details etc.

 

Was he a British Soldier?

 

If you want to post details or PM me I will have a look.
