Hi Joan My suggestion is stop looking for service records <g> Service records for those who served or continued to serve after 1921 are not available to the general public You need to apply to Glasgow where they hold the records, you need to be or have the permission of the next of kin and be able to prove you are the service person or that the person concerned is deceased There is a fee of about 30gbp and it can take several months You might try the Papers or the Gazettes if he was an officer or was decorated Otherwise you would need to try other avenues Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Is there a website where one can look for servicemen from the 1950's? I've been trying a people > search but the person may or may not be alive. Any suggestions? > > Joan
