Welcome to Rootschat

You haven't said whether it's WW1 or WW2 records - or both.

it would be word war two for his father and for him he was in the malaysian war and was in the cheshire regiment

Hi

WW2 records are not online and are still with the M o D.  Have a read of this info

The same process applies to service after WW2 (the son) assuming he is deceased (if he isn't he applies for his own record).  Don't worry if you don't have the service number despite what the top level document says.
