Captain K W Anderson
« on: Friday 05 February 21 23:09 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for K W Anderson RA, regimental number 265303 who was promoted to Captain in 1948.

I think he served in Palestine during the state of emergency there and in the British Army of the Rhine (BAOR) Germany.

What do his initials stand for?  Anderson is a very common surname

Service records for those serving after 1920 are still with the MOD.
See: https://www.gov.uk/get-copy-military-service-records

There will be a fee of £30, and you will need to provide a death certificate.

Hello CaroleW
