His Service Record (If it survived the Blitz only 30% did) wont have been uploaded to Ancestry yet so you would have to visit Kew or get a researcher.They are supposed to be all uploaded by end of year but are around the K surname at present.

The ubit war diary may be available to tell you what the unit was doing you can alo get that from KEW

HI Ady  & Phil
Thank's for the information. I presume the only way to get any more info is to make visit which is not really possible for me. If I posted a request for some one to do a search for me, is it possible to get copies of any revelant information.Does the ref. WO95/4262 cover medical history as well or would that be separate.
Thank's Again
Pughy
