When you get the form (ask for a couple) you can ask for either the soldiers pension record or military record . If you have 2 forms send > for each in separate envelopes! It is $10.00 each and well worth it! It will take a couple of months. --------------------------- Randy, Alas, this all changed effective last month. Pension records are now requested using Form 85, and military records using Form 86. Fees were revised as well: $17.00 for military service record $37.00 for the entire pension file $14.75 for a pension documents packet (Supposed to be the pension file documents - up to 10 pages - most likely to be considered useful to genealogists, but less than the number usually sent under the old system.
