UK Service Records

I’m adding records here from a variety of sources. It will take time for this to be a comprehensive record. However, if you are a Tetlow and your records are not here and you would like them added then please contact me with the necessary details. This page excludes those who died in active service – see the ‘Debt of Honour’.
