Can anyone tell me how to access World War 2 army records ? I am looking for HAMILTON CORNISH who was killed in WW2 and his family want more details. I have been hunting up and down but not found anything yet, so would be grateful for any information Thank you Jean Tuckey New Zealand

Hi, If you go to the CWGC website - www.cwcg.org - it gives the basic details of Lance Corporal Hamilton Hope Cornish who died 22 Feb 1941 and is commemorated on the Alamein Memorial. To get details of his army service, you will have to contact the UK Ministry of Defence. Go to the Veterans Agency website - http://www.veterans-uk.info/index.htm - and follow the links which will tell you how to apply for details of his service career. I hope that helps. Phil Curtis...

Hi Jean This is my husbands field of interest. He can recommend someone who goes to Kew Gardens (Commonwealth Military History Records) to do research for such requests. This is of course not a free service. Let me know if you want to go that route. We can refer you.
