His military records will probably still be with the MOD. Have a look here to see how to apply for them:-

If you are trying to find his service records, they would still be with the MOD.
You can order them at a cost of £30 and a wait for many months

This is the link for obtaining UK service records:

I am trying to find any details of Albert Joseph Cluer born 1911 in London as we know he was serving in North Africa anytime from about 1925 up to before second world war. We know he left home at age 14 and lied about his age to join the Army.but that's all I really know. Thanks Pam
