Since 1st April 2023, there's no charge for copies of records held by the MOD.

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/request-records-of-deceased-service-personnel#further-information-about-service-records-held-by-mod


Many records are now held by the National Archives, as the MOD is gradually transferring service records of people born in 1939 or earlier.

There may be a charge for records from the NA.

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

WW2 documents aren't available online. Have a read from this site of how to go about obtaining them.

https://www.gov.uk/get-copy-military-records-of-service/apply-for-your-own-records

there is a section on applying for the records of a deceased person.
