Hi Joanne

Have you got any details about their service such as which regiment or their service number? We thought we didn't know my grandfather's but it turned out it was quoted on my aunt's birth certificate as she was born during the war.

I got my father's WW2 army records but had to send his and my mother's death certs to prove I was my father's next of kin.  (As I had registered both deaths my name and status - daughter - was on both records)
