I have a pic of my grandfather in uniform. I’d like to know what some of the medals, pins, etc. mean on his uniform. I wanted to get his Army records, but according to the web site I’m not next of kin because I’m a grandchild.

What do these numbers mean? Is there a Key somewhere online? Thanks Source information found was Ancestry.com
Everything is typed by Ancestry.com nothing is hand written to misread. Thanks for trying.

He was in the Grenadier Guards during WW2. His army number was 2617178 and we believe he was in the 5th Battalion. We have sent for his army records from the MOD and they sent us information that was completely wrong! Eg. the details of the person they sent had the wrong DOB, marriage details etc. We have no trace of him after the war. He did have a son, also called William. However, his first wife went off with someone else while he was away fighting and no one can remember her name/have conveniently forgotten it!

What would you do next? Re-apply to the MOD for information requesting they check their records? I cannot find his death registered anywhere. So, keep trawling the death registers? How can we locate his young son Billy? Can anyone help?

NB: I’m aware we can’t examine the census data post 1901 in the UK. Is it possible to request info from the 1941 census? Where would we request it from? What documentation would we need?
Thanks in advance for any useful replies.

My grandfather, who is still living in Australia, would like me to try to find his war records. He served in the British Army of the Rhine (B.A.O.R) in World War 2 and I have basically all the information about him (his number, battery, regiment, etc), but I can’t find a comprehensive site for finding his record or any information about his regiment. Any suggestions?

My grandfather didn’t join the army until Feb 1946. He wouldn’t speak of his time in Germany often but what little he did say was that he had to bury mass bodies and saw unbelieveable horror. I would like to find out more about what went on after the war. I have his enlistment card but I was also wondering if the army kept records of where each man went or if there issomeway of finding out where he had been?? Any info would be helpful! I’m doing genealogy research and would love as much of his military background as possible I just don’t know where to look.

Thank you,
Niki
