If you are looking for his military records then these are with the MOD and have to be applied for - see the link below:

If you are looking for general family history then I am sure that we can help you.

As megan said the MoD haver not released any military records after 1921 so to get ANY information you have to apply through the link Megan gave you. Sorry
Sadly, our dear friend Ann (alias Ladkyis) passed away on Thursday, 26th. December, 2019.

General Family History: Reginald Merson Davies
Unfortunately there is no birth registration in a 5 year period either side of 1926 for a Reginald Merson Davies. There are however five registrations for Reginald M Davies:
1923: 1 in Pontypool (mother: Price) (This one seems to have died as an infant in 1923) and 1 in Bridgend (mother: Harris)
1924: 1 in Bridgend (mother: Eason)
1926: 1 in Pontypool (mother: Williams) – it looks like this one died in 1960 in Pontypool
1930: 1 in Farnham, Surrey. This one is unlikely because he would only have been 15 at the end of WW2.
There are of course dozens of plain Reginald Davies births. As he was your uncle what do you know about him and his parents? Anything can help narrow down the search.
I did a search looking at marriages between Merson and Davies to see if that would give any leads. There are 3 such marriages (1952; 2002; and 1978) The latter being the only Ms Merson marrying a Mr Davies. So I think that is a dead end.
However I have found his marriage in 1947 in the records of GRO Index Army Marriages (1881 to 1955). He married in Italy (Page 3124 Line No 99). I believe that you can use that information to order his marriage certificate. Unfortunately the index does not give the brides name.

Also there are three DAVIES births registered in Pontypool where the mother's maiden name is LUNARDI.
Unfortunately there is no birth registration in a 5 year period either side of 1926 for a Reginald Merson Davies.
