Apparently he served in the green Howards in ww2 according what I have been told the green Howards don't have any record of him.  Is there another way I would be able to search for other regiments please. Thank you.   :-\

Did he use his first Christian name? My Grandfather's service record is indexed by his middle name.

Did he survive the war? If he was killed in the war I'd recommend this search engine to find him?

My Dad was a Green Howard from Middlesbrough, he mentions a J Kelly on his web site at http://www.fightingthrough.co.uk/#/indices-names-ww2-g-r-war-b/4544226859 - no relation I presume?
