I'm guessing you already checked the CWGC site, but just in case you didn't, their parents are not listed there.

You should be able to get their service records from Glasgow, given you know their service Numbers. The attestation papers should have the parents listed, My Dads had his father, and from that you should be able to get the rest of the family.

You will need to write to

Army personnel Centre
Civil Secretariat
Historical Disclosures
Mail Point 400
Kentigern House
65 Brown Street
Glasgow
G2 8EX

Phone them on 0141 224 2826, and they will send you an application form to apply for their records
