Albert Weale Royal Artillery Germany WW2

Discussion in 'Royal Artillery' started by Jack B Gardner, Aug 26, 2017.

  1. Hi guys,

    Trying to trace my Great Grandads military service, I haven't much information on him as all I have of him is his lanyard, cap badge and Royal Artillery patch.

    He served in the Royal Artillery in Germany so am wondering where the best place to look would be?

    Thanks
    Jack

    Nothing online, you have to print forms off & apply by post.
     
  4. I know I've just had a read on the site so I'll send one off and see what happens

    One, 5117419 Pte A Weale listed as a PoW in 45 but Leicestershire Regt not RA :(

    One Lt A Weale RASC in the casualty lists but RASC. (11 A Weale mentions in total but my subscription has lapsed so cannot see which units :( )

    One Gnr A Weale listed RA attestment books with a 1938 enlistment?

  7. Yeah he's definitely Royal Artillery as I have his RA patch, and I'm not sure about the last one I'll have to look, could be that one I'll have to ask my Gran but she most likely won't remember.

    Hi,

    It may be your grandfather if he enlisted directly into RA - but some RA units were formed/converted from previous infantry units so will not have RA service numbers.

    Your best bet is to get his service papers from MOD.
