my grandfather was in the 6th battalion of the royal artillery during the 1950's and early 1960's. he served in malaya. i have got his army records, but apart from him having chicken pox and measles before signing up, there is nothing for a medical history. he claimed on his death bed he was grazed by a bullet on his forehead. now gran scoffs at this, but he did have a scar on his forehead she can't explain. i was hoping maybe war diaries might be available, to see if some of the stories are true, but i suspect the army still has them for that period? can anyone enlighten me?

The diaries might be at Kew but even if they are, it would be a mammoth search as you don't have a date, and it might well not be mentioned anyway! It would be best to get his Army records.The National Archives, Kew – Research Service Offered

There may not be any detail on any injury though. I sent off for a WW2 service record which stated that the man had been in hospital, with dates, but no reason why.The National Archives, Kew – Research Service Offered
