A complete list is highly unlikely, but this link has a lot of interesting information.

I got my dads from Glasgow.

I thought he had been in the Army during WW2, but in fact he was not called up (reserved occupation & age during early years of war) and was in the TA during the last year of the war. But I now know he joined or was called up immediately after the war and remained in the Army for around 5 years.

Researching:
We are all of us in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars, Oscar Wilde New avatar, my dad age about 3/4 months, could have been worse, it could have been the awful nude on a rug!!
