Have you applied for his records from the Veterans Agency / Kentigern House?

You might get something there...Also what paperwork do you have? His AB64 might hold some clues
One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.

Veterans Agency - never heard of such an animal!

AB64???

I have the records held by the M.O.D. office - B200B, Soldiers particulars, annual report and employment sheets and various other papers - discharge from the DLI, application for the Fusiliers, marriage and children details, etc.

Is there something else I could get?

I doubt it Linda! I think you would have as much as you can get from them

The AB64 was a soldiers paybook...My dad left his in his effects along with a shed load of other military papers...I put out a mean display these days at shows etc!!

There are always bits of int on them and interesting things can be gleaned from them!
