Can anyone help... I can't find any information on the above person in any war records. He was my mother's father and i have done my dads side of the tree and i'm wanting to continue with my mothers side. He's war number was VX1461. I think he was SAS, i can't remember.
Thanks in advance
Jacqueline, His records are under a slightly different spelling to what you listed for surname
Well that's why i can't find any information! They have all obviously spelt his name wrong or my pop was lying lol on his tomb stone is says Mcneill....*sigh.. Thank you kindly. It's a start :D
Jacqueline, I could also be incorrect on his headstone - best find his birth & marriage to check the spelling but as he would have filled out his application to join WW2 he may have spelt it that way or otherwise it is a transcription error - you will find out when you get the full record
good luck and if you need any help with BDM records let me know
Elizabeth

You're such a good sport Elizabeth :D much appreciated. I found my pop's dad (james henry)'s war records, and that as far as i can find. I have asked my uncles and mother if they know more but they don't really. So i'm surfing around in circles lol. I really do appreciate your help :D
Thank you
