I know there are lots about him on Ancestry but I can not access the records. If any one can help I would really appreciate it. Thank you Kim

	WW2 service records are still with the MOD and are not online. Have a look here to see how to order them:- https://www.gov.uk/guidance/request-records-of-deceased-service-personnel They will cost £30 and may take several months to arrive. Kath. x
