Just received my dads service records today, some of it difficult to read. He was in several regiments, starting with the 1.KOSB when he enlisted on the 15th of March 1940 aged 24. In 1943 after being moved around a few different places he was transferred to the 2nd  Middlesex Regiment, I don't know if that means the 2nd battalion. Then in march 1944 he was transferred to the South Lancashire Regiment, until July 1944 when he was transferred to the RASC. His rank was always down as private until he joined the RASC when it was written down as driver. I think it says he was posted to 51 rhu, then 712 coy, then 1614 arty. I think it says T O S this unit ------ S O S to 51 G.T.coy, SOS this unit to 378GT coy, not sure what this means. That was in 1945, then from November that year until his release in 1946 it says EMBARKED and SOS B A O R, Class "A" Release. Does anyone know what that means. That was on his service and casualty form but on his record of service paper it says he was released to Class 'Z' (T) Royal Army Reserve. It looks like he was finally released on 30/4/46.

Re dads group photo, I have tried to get a better image of the cap badge but have not been very successful. When I was doing this I came across this face which I thought looked familiar, have a look and see what you think. Heres a clue, think older character in Eastenders

I said I would try to post a photograph of my dad in his uniform to see if anyone can identify the regiment. Here goes, hope this works, first time I have done this.

How can I find out by fathers service records for ww2 if i don't know which regiment he served in. I know he was stationed at Berwick Barracks, but don't know any dates. He was a driver and spent time in France and Belgium. My family have a couple of old photographs of him in his uniform but there is nothing written on them. Can anyone give me any ideas as how to proceed ?
