For this period.....all service records are still held by the ministry of defence. So yes.

Hi,

From the Air78 'Index of Airmen & Airwomen' at the National Archives is the following:

MILITIA

WADE
Sydney Edward Ford

1633775 (His service number)

DG


http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C15625844

If you follow the link & click on the 'Preview an image of this record' then go to image 152, his entry is the second one down in the right hand column.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards

David

All you can do (indeed need to do) with the preview page that David has brought you to is zoom in on it to read the detail. Although you could apply for his record without his number, you now have what you need from David's guidance.

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,
