do you have anymore information such as a Service Number?

Though WW2 records currently available are for those injured or killed in action, those receiving awards or those captured as a P.O.W. etc. Unfortunately all WW2 "service records" are still restricted/classified and only held by the MOD. They are not being officially released until 75 years after the end of WW2 i.e. 2019.

You can apply directly to the MOD for their service record from this link here: https://www.gov.uk/requests-for-pers...ervice-records

Please note that this will cost about £30 and there is a wait for upto 12 months, though the ONLY place you will get his service records.
