I have a photograph of my father who I think was in the Royal army service corps, Pioneer corps, Gillespie Squad. He lived in Swansea, South Wales. I have a number which I think is his service number-1759332. I've tried typing this into ancestry records with no result. Does anyone know the best way of finding out what he did and where he served during the war? I know he was in France and Belgium, but that's all

Thanks for your information. I've obtained my father's service records and I recently discovered that my father served with the Pioneer corps 174 in WW2 in France, Holland and Germany from Aug 1944 until Apr 1946. I would love to know the details of what his company was doing and where he served. Could you help please? I wondered whether the company would have had a log? His name was William Lewis Peake, and his service no. was 142869
Many thanks
