hi,
please can anyone advise how i find out more info linked to my paternal Grandads military life. I know he signed up to the Royal Army Service Corps in 1939 as a dispatch rider, and i have his medals in a box. However, i dont know what regiment/platoon etc he was involved with, i havent managed to find anything on ancestry relating to his time etc, nor any idea where he was based. I have some photos of him that were taken in italy, but other than that i'm at a total loss as to where to start looking.
This has only come about my son has started his GCSE hiistory course and they are doing about the wars and he asked me if any of the immediate family had served in them. So i got the "box of treasures" down and i have record cards and docs, photos and medals for my mum's dad and as above for my dads dad.
