	There would be his army records, but I think for WW2 records only the next of kin has a right to apply for them. If he came from a fairly small community I suppose it is possible there might have been a report in the local newspaper about him.

He was injured in ww2 whilst fighting for the British army and ended up in an American Army hospital (long story ). I was wondering if there would be records somewhere. Natalia x
