WW2 service records are not online but are still with the MOD. This website will tell you how to go about ordering them and what you need to provide. They will cost £30 and may take several months to arrive:-

Hello ,

Can someone please tell me if i can assess records of my ancesters that were in the army after the WW2?

2 ancesters of mine joined at the end of the war and did go to Italy.
1 ancester joined a little later and fought in the Korean war. 4th one was a little later.
he was a army cadet before doing his 3yrs of service.
Do not know where they joined. Only that they were b Bilston Wolv .
