Henry Vernon Stroud, Born 18th February 1914, started in the RAMC I think until he went to Mons Officer Training Centre, Aldershot during or just before WW2. Then during the war he was in the Tank regiment, and then the RAOC afterwards.
His medals are, 1939-1945 Star, France and Germany Star, Victory, War, General Service with Malaya clasp
I have 2 service numbers for him:-
7201826
176720 this is on a military pass, his rank was then Captain, I am assuming he was in the RAOC as its dated 1953.
I have some photos, but can't seem to post them?
Thanks in advance
Ian

The MOD has not yet released WW2 records, but relatives can buy a copy. See HERE.
It will cost you 30 pounds, a copy of his death certificate, and (usually) a couple of months...

Hi Ian
to post photos now on Brit-Gen you have to first upload them to a free site with a URL such as TinyPic.
There are others as given here - all free.

Henry V Stroud birth registration March Quarter 1914 Uxbridge Vol 3A Page 1115 Mother’s maiden Name “Chambers”
Henry V Stroud marriage registration Evelyn R Bartlett March Quarter 1946 Brentford Vol 3A Page 670
Henry Vernon Stroud death registration March Quarter 1995 Haringey Register No. B53A Entry No 034 Date of Registration mm/77: 0395
With regard to Henry’s parent’s there are surprisingly two marriages in the early 1900s between a Mr Stroud and Miss Chambers. The first took place in 1903 in Kings Norton (Birmingham) between Thomas Francis and Mary May and the second took place in 1909 in Hackney between Henry George and Ada. Based on location it is more likely that the second set were his parents, but again you could only confirm with his birth certificate.
The two marriage registration details are:
1903 April quarter, Kings Norton Vol 6C Page 800 : Thomas Francis Stroud and Mary May Chambers
1909 Dec quarter Hackney Vol 1B page 764 : Henry George Stroud Ada Chambers
Again they both appear as either / or on the marriage registration index, but I both set on the 1911 Census. The second set are just listed as Henry and Ada and were living in Ealing, and he was a piano player fitter.
As you may have realised Evelyn had been married previously before she married Henry. The details of that marriage registration are as follows:
June quarter 1942 Kensington to Robert J Bartlett Vol 1A Page 192
I don’t know what happened to Robert Bartlett, but the marriage certificate between Henry and Evelyn would give you some clues in terms of how she was described. Was she described as a widow, or the divorced wife of RB etc.

Following on from Megan's excellent reply, all birth marriage and death certificates should be ordered either directly from the GRO
https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/
or the local Registrar's Office, https://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/ci...ice/RegOffice2
and not via a third party who will probably charge you at least twice as much just for ordering from the same place.
