Do you mean Strange?

British service records for that period have not been released (publicly). You would need to apply.

Some service records for people serving after 1920 are still with the MOD.
See: https://www.apply-deceased-military-record.service.gov.uk/

Many records have been transferred to The National Archives for digitisation.

My wife applied for her fathers Service Records and it took months to receive them, in fact we had just about forgotten we had applied for them. It is not a quick response from the gov. department.

They prioritise welfare cases; genealogy is rightly of lower priority.
