I am trying to trace for my cousin a regiment for Ernest Lees in WW2. We know he was in 1st Army because of his arm badge - a white shield with a red cross through it and a gold handled dagger. I paid for a short membership of the Forces website put that did not help. and am also a member of Findmypast and Ancestry. Find mypast gave me four Ernest Lees records and loads of E. Lees. If I could find where they have Date of Birth on a record then I would find him as I have his full date of birth - he was a butcher by trade and lived in Rochdale. Not one of the databases appear to have this information. Does anybody know which is the best way of finding out - I had a quick look at the National Archives but could not even get into the right place to start a search. Thank you
