Hi 2Harriet
You are right - it could be anywhere. If you look in the Military section of this forum (scroll down the front page) you'll find lots of tips to help you. WW2 records ares still held by the Ministry of Defence although you can apparently access military records through sites like Ancestry. You will need some essential information before you start, e.g. full name, date of birth, which service etc. Ideally, you should have a service number - this opens a lot of doors quickly. I can't find the address to write to but I'm sure if you post in the military section someone on this forum will be able to direct you. What was your relative's name and which town did he come from?
Good hunting
