I guess you're refering to WW2? I don't believe there are any records online.

Great grandmother Dorothy Bean nee Abbott (1858-1908)

Just to say, Flocker, I live just 6 miles from Cowlow Lane, in Dove Holes. Dove Holes, as a place, must be one of the most drab in appearance of the entire country. But their Community Association must be one of the most lively. Somebody there will help you out. Phone 01298 815019. The phone might not be manned every day, Dove Holes is really just a large hamlet, but keep trying, and somebody, I am sure, will help you out.

It is one of those villages where everybody knew everybody, so somebody there will remember your family.

Good luck

Margaret

If you are next of kin you could trying to order his service record. Cost £30 but could take 9 months to get them
