Military service records after 1922 are still with the MOD

This is the link for obtaining UK service records:

They'd cost £30 to have a copy sent to you. There may be a wait of a number of months.

my grandad was in the army charles barker he was in eygpt for five yesrs hid daughter iris barker wife mabel can anyone help he was in the 2nd world war

As DetEcTive has already said, you can order his army records from the Ministry of Defence as WW2 records are not online. Use the link given above to find out how to order them. They will cost £30 and sometimes take several months to arrive. They should list all the places he served along with dates etc.

Hello

I've sent you a private message about Brian's children- including their marriage details and latest addresses, and also links to facebook pages.

If there is anything you don't understand can you please reply by private message- we have to be careful not to give information of living people on a public board to protect their privacy.

thank you so much x

i have contacted his children no reply all my mum wants to know is her brother still alive x

hi there can any one tell me what alec alfred bain birth 2nd march1913 died of death 1977 greenwich age 64 and his brother alan marshall bain 1917 died of and where they are buried thank you x

Did you try writing to the 2011 address I sent you for Brian?

Have you written to the address I sent for his son David? The address I gave you is from the current electoral register.

You would need to order the death certificate to know what the cause of death was.
