 :D Thought you might be!
Easy mistake to make. Seeing as I posted to you, thought I would join myself...So thank you for prompting me to search for my Grandfathers War details! :P

All the best in your search

You will not obtain any disclosure without production of a death certificate for your grandfather and also proof that you are a close blood relative. After January next year public search of the WWII records will be permitted by law. Meanwhile, don't expect much co-operation from Army Records and, even after paying your fee, expect to wait 9 to 12 months for reply.
Southern or Southan [Hereford , Monmouthshire & Glos], Jenkins, Meredith and Morgan [Monmouthshire and Glos.], Murrill, Damary, Damry, Ray, Lawrence [all Middx. & London], Nethway from Kenn or Yatton. Also Riley and Lyons in South Africa and Riley from St. Helena.
