does anyone have any information please

[spritemad]

Hello... My name is Paul Dunnington and I am trying to find any information relating to my Grandfather Lawrence Dunnington. I have limited information but here it is...

Royal Air force volunteer reserve service number 743422

Died 29/10/1945

I would love to find anything connected with him as we are putting together a part of the family tree for my dad who is terminally ill with cancer. Lawrence died when my dad was just 9 years old so it would be nice to assemble something for my dad to look back over.

I have tried several sources but without success and the family has very limited archive material. Lawrence was married to Florence Mary (my grandma) who died some years ago.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

He would have to apply for a copy of his own service records, see HERE (http://www.british-genealogy.com/threads/81920-Finding-service-records-for-WW2-and-after), but there's no reason why you can't sort out the papers for him as long as he signs. It can take a couple of months.
