Hello
I have very little information on a relative and I am looking for his war records .
Here is what i have
JOHN WINSTANLEY 1921 -1988
born Wigan Lancashire
Parents Thomas Winstanley and Ellen Overton
In 1939 he was 18 years old, a painter and decorator living with his parents at 2 Engine Yard Orrell Lancashire
He married Nellie Moss in 1942 in Wigan Lancashire
The only information I have about his time in WW2 is he was air support and served in North Africa, Sicily, Italy
How can I find out any more about his service in WW2
Any help or advice would be very much appreciated
Thank you
Linda

Welcome to the British Genealogy Forum.
The MOD has not yet put WW2 records on general release, but relatives can buy a copy for 30 quid (and a copy of the death certificate). If you look at the top of this forum, there’s a link to a post on how and where post 1922 records can be obtained (I can’t copy links on my phone).
