What resources are available for research the role of family ancestors in wartime?

I think that both of my grandfathers served for some time in India with the British military during WW2, but I don’t know any details. How could I begin to research where they might have been and what they experienced?

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.
