Researching the family history. Found one great-grand uncle died in late July 1944 somewhere in Normandy. Curious, I searched for his grave details and found it, along with his service number and decided to apply for his records.
The National Archives replied back with:
"This record is currently closed under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and will need to be sensitivity reviewed before we can determine whether it is possible to open it to the public."
Is there any reason why this might be? Is it fairly routine? From what I can tell he was killed in action.
