Title: Captain K W Anderson
Post by: floggle toggle 2 on Friday 05 February 21 23:09 GMT (UK)
I am looking for K W Anderson RA, regimental number 265303 who was promoted to Captain in 1948.

I think he served in Palestine during the state of emergency there and in the British Army of the Rhine (BAOR) Germany.

Service records for that period are still with the MoD

What do his initials stand for?  Anderson is a very common surname

Service records for those serving after 1920 are still with the MOD.
See: https://www.gov.uk/get-copy-military-service-records

There will be a fee of £30, and you will need to provide a death certificate.

Hello CaroleW

As far as I know, no connection. However, I have connections to West Ham & Tunbridge Wells and K W Anderson came up in reasearch.
