World War Two / Re: Cannot find any service records of soldier
« on: Friday 16 July 21 04:51 BST (UK)  »
Have you read this FAQ?

https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=651361.0

I have had a browse. I understand that many records are not available but I find it strange how there is not a single record on Ancestry, etc.
At least one of my gt-uncle's records was on Ancestry, but only revealed the corps he was in which eventually helped me gather more information, however, in this case, there has not been any information in the 6 years i've been looking... maybe I'm looking at the wrong places (I don' t have memberships to Forces War Records and other sites).

Or perhaps a member here has knowledge on what personnel had Alsatians/German Shepherds.

World War Two / Cannot find any service records of soldier
« on: Friday 16 July 21 03:58 BST (UK)  »
Hello everyone,

For many years now I have been piecing together bits of information regarding my great-grandad to get a better idea of who he was as my grandads memory is starting to fail him.

I have all the information I want on him except service records / any information tying him to the second world war besides a photograph my grandad remembers.

Name: George Ernest Williams
D.O.B: 21 May 1920
Place: Shoreditch, London, England
D.O.D: 27 Jan 1992
Place: Islington, London, England

He married a Winifred Alger in 1942.

My grandad and I would like to find out anything about his life in WW2 as he can only remember a photograph of him with a German Shepard.
I have posted looking for information before back in 2015/16 on numerous sites but to no avail.

Thank you,
Jordan

My mother's youngest brother was killed during training practicing boat landings

My great-uncle was also killed in training, but in a live firing exercise in Worthing in October 1945.

London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: London- Savage
« on: Monday 09 May 16 00:16 BST (UK)  »
Hello, I myself am a savage... Some of the earlier ancestors I have traced back to were from Ireland, then moved to scotland, then north England and then down to north London. Since around my great-grandfather we have lived in Islington.
My middle name, Henderson, has also been passed down the tree for 164 years so if you have any hendersons on your tree let me know :)

Fortunately I know the cause of death and everything the death certificate would tell me.
Thank you anyway, Jordan

Update: After speaking to a family member, i found out that George's parents refused to take the medals and they got rid of everything. Apparently the MOD also covered his death up as he died in training. I do not know how i would go about this.
Thank you,
Jordan
