This page should give you a few pointers on how to get in touch with people you have served with, in any of the UK's Armed Forces. Although the focus of this section of the website is focused at alumni of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, I receive significant mail relating to other 'people finder' enquiries. For general advice, try my Frequently Asked Questions; hopefully this page will act as a pointer to where you might find more information on getting in touch with former colleagues.
