Hi there
Trying to find military records about my Grandfather, I was told he joined the Worcestershire regiment in WW2 and later went into Queen's regiment, I believe he served in Egypt in his service but has no more information, any help would be great.

Hi Chrissy - WW2 records aren't on-line; they have to be purchased from the MOD.

This is the link for obtaining UK service records:
https://www.gov.uk/requests-for-personal-data-and-service-records

The documents will cost you £30 and you will probably have to wait a number of months (9 months has been mentioned) before you receive them.
