Ok I now know I had a half brother whom died before I was born, he was in the army but doing what and which reg I have no idea. He spent a lot of time in the far east I think as we had lots of photos of him and things that he brought back, I have his name dob and place of birth bt how would I find his army records?

If you can post a photo, someone might be able to identify the regiment.

Hi Cov

Service records post WW1 are still with the MoD see:

Records of Deceased personnel
Enquirers must provide the consent of the Next of Kin and unless the person died in Service, proof of death. A charge may be made for enquiries. Prior to 1972 all Royal Navy personnel were given their service record when they were discharged. For pension purposes the Royal Navy retained pay details. Therefore the only data held on Royal Navy personnel who served prior to 1972 is their Service details (number, rank, name etc) and a list of dates and ships/shore bases
