Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right area to post, so if not feel free to direct me elsewhere. I have a question regarding where I can find information on family members in WW2. Relative was a member of the British forces, I have his service record number, he was a part of REME, and after he was injured I know which doctor operated on him, and the hospital name of where he was treated. However, I cannot seem to find any "official" records of him. Any suggestions of where to search, or what documents to look through, would be greatly appreciated!
Hello there! As your question is related to looking for identification/information regarding military personnel, our Guide on Military Identification may be of use to you. It provides a number of different resources, including how to request service records from a number of national agencies around the world, as well as graphical aids to assist in deciphering rank, unit, and other forms of badges or insignia. While the users here may still be able to lend you more assistance, hopefully this will provide a good place to start!
