WW2 records of service for Charles W J Woods
« on: Tuesday 04 November 14 15:09 GMT (UK) »
I dont know if this is where to request help but i need some :-) i am looking to find any service records for my grandad Charles William James Woods B1921. I was told he was in the Seaforth Highlanders but have no proof of this. He passed away when my mum was young and i would love to give her some history about him. if anyone can help it would be very much appreciated.

Thank You x

Hi,

If you have any photos of him in uniform then post on the Armed Froces board; someone might be able to identify his regiment.  Also if he appears on any BMD certs then his regiment might be listed under "occupation".
