WW2 Info needed
« on: Wednesday 19 January 05 21:01 GMT (UK) »
I hope this is the right board for this post.
Does anyone know of a site on the internet that lists all soldiers in ww2 or do they just list the ones that died or lost in action.
Thanks Joe

Just the ones that were KIA or (sometimes) died during service or attributed to service I'm afraid.

Personal records are still with the Ministry of Defence and permission is required from the next of kin for release of information ........... for a fee!

There are a lot of sites that deal with more general war matters - is it anything specific that you are looking for?

Don't suppose you have his war medals or any related info which might give a number and/or regiment?

A couple of sites that might be worth investigating:

http://www.forcesreunited.org.uk/

Can't think of anything else at the moment.
