    3. The photo doesn't happen to have a number on the back that could be your grandfather's army number does it? if you have that number then you can write to the Ministry of Defence to ask if they can supply a copy of his army record. Have a look on the back, if it was a photo that he had sent home to his family then it may have his number. This is how we found my father's army number to begin with on the back of a photo sent to him by my mother during WWII when he was a prisonr of war held in Poland. I have a copy of my father's record which is is a useful piece of information. It tells of when he was returned from Dunkirk in 1940 and also when he was missing in 1942 and then tells that he was a POW and the date of his repatriation in 1945 and return to the UK right through to when he was de-mobbed. It also gives a description of him, eye colour, complexion, weight, height etc., all taken from his enlistment details. Because my father was a signalman he got moved around to differnt units and each time he was attached to a fresh unit it is noted too. Have a good look through any papers and photos that you might have from that period and see if you can find any kind of number his army record if you can get a copy of it might tell you quite a bit about this part of your grandfather's life.
