We hope to visit Kew soon and wondered whether seasoned searchers have any tips about Kew in particular. |

Have a look at their website for requirements for getting a readers ticket - id required, etc. What sort of information are you going to be looking for? |

PS You need to know the regiment and battalion for the military records, then you can get the reference from the catalogue and order up the war diary. |

On a practical note, I take my own food - theirs is expensive. |

Try not to carry too much with you - then the searches are very quick. |
