WW2 records?

[TiarasTimeOutsAndTantrums]

Are there enlistment records etc on ancestry? I can only seem to find ww1

There is a site called I think forces reunited that may be able to help you. :)

Thank you! I'm trying to do my grandparents family history for them as they aren't brilliant with the computer and I know his brother died in the war

If you know which of the forces he served with you can get all the information from the relevant records office. My grandad was in the RAF and I wrote to them with his death certificate to get his RAF record of service.

It's the RAF I've found his grave online but not sure if there's a death cert still

Did he die in the UK or abroad?

Surviving next of kin can request a copy of the service record -- make sure you specify in your application that you want the service record and any other documentation they hold on your great-uncle.

For the RAF you'd need to fill in the form at www.veterans-uk.info/pdfs/service_records/raf_kinship.pdf and send it to RAF Disclosures Section, Room 221b, Trenchard Hall, RAF Cranwell, Sleaford, LINCS NG34 8HB with a cheque for £30 and copies (I think photocopies are fine) of relevant certificates. Your grandfather would need to actually be the one applying, though, as next of kin.

Oh thank you! He's buried in holland I've found a record online saying he was a flight sergeant.

I have PM'd you Tiara
