For anyone serving in the forces after WW1, their records will still be held by the MOD. Don't bother with the Forces Reunited Site - they won't have the service records.You can apply for his service records from the MOD - there's a charge, though, and you might be in for a long wait. Details of how to apply are here |

the reason I asked George is that the list on the "Search Navy Records" appears to be categorised by occupation - as I said, it is so lengthy - have you taken a look at it? |
