My dad was Eric Campbell Morgan and served in the South African Tank Corps in the Second World War. He was a corporal and I think his service number was 74629V. I would like to find out more about his service record, as all I know is that he was in East Africa, I think Somaliland and Abyssinia, also Kenya I believe. I don't think he went to North Africa but may be wrong. He was in the army from 30.05.40 to 24.08.45. Any help would be appreciated please.

You can apply to SO3 Military Historical Services sandfdoc@mweb.co.za giving them as much information as possible - I have been successful in getting a few records from them

I have sent you a PM with the contact details of someone who can get the records for you at a very reasonable cost.
