Hello Sarah, wonder if this might be him?

Royal Artillery attestations 1883-1942
First name(s) George Thomas
Last name Langford
Age -
Birth year -
Birth place -
Service number 11271287
Former service number -
Attestation year 1941

From FindMyPast

ADDED: There's very little information. From what I can make out he was posted to H.A.A (whatever that is) 17/06/1942 and appears to have been discharged 27/11/1943 - circumstances xviii, think that means services no longer required.

Anything after discharge from WW1 service will be with the MOD.

Follow the link as given above and complete the relevant forms. Copies of the records will cost you £30 and months of waiting.

If you mean National service as a general query.......google is your friend :-D
