Army Medical Corps

[JoLouise79]

Hi, I'm new at this so please forgive me if I'm not sticking to script.  My late Grandfather, Frederick Penrose served in the Army Medical Corps as a Cook, but as he died when I was 5, was unable to ask him about his time serving in WW2 and the only photo we have with him in uniform is on his wedding day.  The only other relative whom he might have told about his time in the army passed away in 1999 and that was my Mum's older brother.  Does anyone know of any way I can access any old records of his or any way of getting a single photo of him in uniform (if one ever exists).

I'd be grateful if anyone can help me solve this.

His records will still be with MOD (they won't contain a photo).  As he was your grandfather, applying for his record should be straightforward. https://www.gov.uk/get-copy-military-service-records/apply-for-someone-elses-records
Despite what the advice says on the introductory page, if you don't have his service number, his date of birth and death cert (which you do need) should suffice.

If you google you will find a very poignant poem "The RAMC" by Col W H Atkins.

It is under copyright, but well worth finding.
