I only have access to WW1 records, sorry. Where did you find that number?
Are you after his military records? I saw this on ancestry
Although British military service records for WWII are still held by the MOD, family members can apply to get copies of personnel records by writing to the MOD. You will need the permission of the person themselves if they are still alive, or their surviving next of kin along with their death certificate.If you do a search, you will find other posts on rootschat about obtaining military records & all the details of contacting the MOD plus what it will cost.
