Hi to everyone Decided it was long overdue to find my grandads war records, and have finally found his service number so hoping things will get easier from now on - I don't seem to get any results on any of the search websites Anyway, hello again and I will try and find the right thread to ask my questions thanks
Hello & welcome. You'll need to apply to the MoD for his records, assuming he's British. Requests for personal data and service records: a detailed guide - GOV.UK Can you tell us more about him ? PS. Don't worry if you post something in the wrong place, one of us Mods will move it.
Thanks very much for your help, I have downloaded the forms.His name was Frederick Cawrey, all I know was that he was a gunner (suffered from shell shock) was definitely in Egypt for a time as he told me that and gave me a photo of himself and a couple of colleagues standing in front of what I assume was the vehicle/gun he was using, but really interested to find out more - he was a good man
here you go, sorry about the quality its a copy of the original that I have stored away - I will dig out the original once I get the chance as will be darker IMG_1055 by GH1 posted Nov 10, 2017 at 12:08 PM
Yes! that is him, thanks - 1-12-45 will be when he left the army- what are the bits under his name? also re you previous post what does CMP stand for thank you for all your help
Hi GH1 - welcome to the forum. KR stands for Kings Regulations and the 'para 390 (xvi)' means (as per this site: kings regulations [Archive] - British Genealogy & Family History Forums) "no longer physically fit for service"
