Grandad Christopher Kemp Wells Service Records
« on: Tuesday 15 August 23 14:29 BST (UK) »
My Grandfather died 10 January 1970.

He was a private in the Army in 1943 Service Number 19227702.

Annoucment in the paper of my Dads birth to Christoper occupation of Sapper 1922 R.E. Carpenter 17 Jan 1943.

Is anyone able to help me locate his service records.

Many thanks
