Thanks for this.

 If anyone can help find a regiment number or any other records concerning him, it would be a great help.

Many thanks.

Tony

Loose end.  Your interpretation of his regiment as 20 Light Anti Aircraft Regiment Royal Artillery (in UK Western Command in Sep 1939, NW Europe from Jun 1944) is correct but unfortunately doesn't help at all in obtaining his record, the system doesn't ask you to identify his regiment .

Follow Nanny Jan's advice in the post yesterday at 1903, check out the application form carefully, it has a detailed explanation of what they regard as next of kin.

Thanks for the reply.

Would the data on the record be enough to find the correct person from within the MOD records?

Hi.

Please can some tell me what this means I think it says gunner 20th light AA 166 troop RA.

I think it's a regiment from ww2?

If I'm correct how can I find more about this service records? Its attached to the 1939 register for my ancestor john Anthony. Born c1903

Help much appreciated.
