Hi Drwe,
A lot of service records were destroyed during WW2, so they may not exist.

You could try here:- http://www.sommilmuseum.org.uk/

They could help you.

Hi Drwe

I have just had a look and cannot find a reference. Yes, many service records were destroyed. When you say his discharge, do you mean his Pension Records?
