We are trying to trace any information regarding my wife's grandfather who has not been traced since about 1953. The details we have are very sparse. Born about 1907 in London, Fathers name William. Married Gwendolyn Saw in 1932 in Aylesbury (Marriage Register Oct/Nov/Dec 1932 Vol 3a page 2593)
Served in Royal Artilliary Lance Bombadier,
Army No 2299733 in Korea in 1953 Believed to have lost a leg in around 1968.
Any information would be appreciated or suggestions if army records can be accessed. Many thanks.
