I'm new to the forum but was recommended by a friend.
I am trying to get information about my father who was mentioned in Depatches in WW2. I believe the records if available are held in Kew, so wondered if anyone was going at some point whether they could do a look up for me.
His details are:- Harold Victor Arnold dob 7 March 1916 died 1999, army No2198932 Royal Engineers. On his records from MOD I see his 'mention' is noted for 29 Nov 1945 and it was published in the London Gazette. No details are given as to what he did to get this 'mention' and I would really like to know if possible. There is a refernce on his papers that says 'records letter M/A MID/522 dated 7 Jan 46'.
Thanks in advance for any help.
