Member Since: October 2024 Posts: 1 Send Message	Hello, I’m wondering if anyone can help. I’ve been trying to track down my late grandfathers army records for my father who is now 80 and would like to know more information, but I am drawing a blank. Any help would be greatly appreciated, not sure where to go from here. Thanks

If he served in WW2, those records are not online https://www.gov.uk/get-copy-military-records-of-service Be prepared, it's been 10 months and I'm still waiting for my 2 applications.
