WW2 Service Records

[Welford1]

Hello everyone,I received great information on here about my great grandad in ww1 and now I'm trying to find out about my grandad who served in the Second World War,all I know is his number and regiment,private William stalley 4755402 the green howards,and I think years ago when I was a kid I think a battle of Salerno was mentioned,any help would be great.

The difference between getting info on WW1 and WW2 is that (most of) the former are on line and almost none of the latter are.

The detailed service record you need is still held by MOD and you have to apply (and pay) for it.

1st Bn Green Howards did fight at Salerno among many other places.  Some reading in this book here while you wait for the record!http://www.theunknownwarriors.co.uk/front-cover-story/4531751932
