Can you not get copies of your discharge papers from the relevant bit of the Forces?

Yes definately declare the fact that you were in the forces. I'm sure you will be able to get the exact date of the time spent there along with a copy of your discharge papers, to send with the application. You don't want to risk them finding out, and then being refused because of it.
All the best

Hmmmmmm! As a solicitor I'd advise you to get that in writing!

Maybe your agent knows of a reason why this should not be included but I would personally include the Forces information.
