Albert Stanley Jackson / 19 Feb 1918 / Stoke on Trent

[jacko9]

Hi, I hope this is the correct place to post such a request.

I'm trying to locate a service number for a gentleman by the name Albert Stanley Jackson. Born 19 Feb 1918 in Stoke on Trent. I have found a newspaper clipping that he was missing during the war and returned in 1942. The article mentioned he was in service for about 2 years at the time but I can't seem to find anything on Ancestry, FindMyPast or Fold3 - very odd... Is there anyone able to assist on this please?

Thanks in advance.

WW2 records are with MoD but understand some are now digitalised

He is later shown as a released PoW

Thank you for the reply, that is the gentleman I am researching that you've identified. Seems strange that I've not been able to find anything at all for him, whereas for other people I've managed to find the service number at least - perhaps that might be because they joined before the war started?

Thank you very much cath151 - that is him. I haven't found these newspaper snips before so it's nice to have more. Seems like I'll have to wait for some records to come out over the next few years from the MoD
