Hi there -- asking for information about service records is fine here, but we'd prefer that real names not be used to protect the privacy of any living descendants. If you want to edit the name out of the post, we'd be happy to approve it.

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!
