John Welcome on board Have you any information on when and where it happened? it may also help to go to the national Archieves to find the unit war diary. There are one or two members who will copy the War Diary for you for a modest fee
Hi THe best thing to do is apply for his service records- service records sar form requests Fill out the 2 forms and send off with fee, then wait. You will get lots of information on him. Then you can get the war diary as noted above. I wonder if this was his regiment - RA 1939-45 75 LAA or it could be this one- RA 1939-45 126 LAA but his records will show which, if either or not. regards Robert
