I know my great uncle died in WW2. I have found his records, he was a Gunner. Died 1943. Does anyone know if it is possible to find out the story of his regiment/ his demise? We have mixed tales within the family that's all. many thanks |

If his actual rank was 'Gunner', he was in the Royal Artillery. |

if you find the record on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission website at www.cwgc.org then you may find out more information about the cemetery he is buried in, sometimes this can tell you about the particular battle |
