Answered by Al Carns

The Ministry of Defence does not hold information on British personnel affected by water contamination at US Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune between 1953 and 1987.

While we do not have details of personnel who served at the Camp, we are making every effort to ensure Serving personnel and veterans are aware of their rights moving forward.
