Any records for personnel serving after 1920 are still with the MOD.
They are not online anywhere.

You could apply for his service record?
https://www.gov.uk/get-copy-military-service-records

There will be a fee of £30, unless mum or dad are still alive.
And you will need a copy of his death certificate.

"101st company Infantry Division"

That doesn't make a lot of sense. Can you post a scan of the document it comes from?

So, was he in the US Army?
Or the British Army?

British companies are normally A,B,C,D,Support and H.Q.,i think we are going to struggle unless you can find the regiment/corps name as 101st company Infantry Divison makes little sense i'm afraid.I have served in Belize (not in the 50's) but from my understanding it was an Infantry battalion and attached trades from Engineers,Reme etc,could 101st be from a Corps ?
