WW2 Gloster Regiment
« on: Sunday 18 July 10 23:47 BST (UK) »
I'd like to find the army records for an uncle.  He served in the Gloster Regiment WW2 1939-41.  I have his army number. I'd like to know the contact information to obtain his record.  Help please.  Thanks.

If you go to the National Archives on-line all the information is there.  Only direct NOK can get WW2 records and there is a £30 charge.

You mention he served from 39-41 , what did he do after 1941?
