Im looking for military history of my great uncle, William Braton Martin Alderson, he was born in 1914 During world war II, he was mostly stationed in Belgium and was a cook in the army.
He died in 1992, he actually committed suicide, due to depression.
If anyone could advise the best place for me to start/ look for records etc that would be a great help.
Many thanks

As a WW2 soldier his records are still with the Ministry of Defence, not on line, and you can apply for them, subject to the conditions. The process is here:

You don't need his service number as long as you have the other requirements.
