	WW2 records are still with the MOD and are not online yet. Have a look here to find out how to order them:- https://www.gov.uk/guidance/requests-for-personal-data-and-service-records The records will cost £30 and may take quite a few months to arrive. Kath. x

	Query also posted on your longer thread on Find Ancestors Edward Reginald Jones c1916. http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/ancestors/thread/1354451 Never mind - both Kath and I gave the same advice. Her link and mine eventually end up at the same page.
