You've not said which branch of the military he served, but generally these records are not in the public domain, still held by the appropriate authority.

See these links which explains.

This link is for the Army

They can take 9 months to get them, and can cost £30-00

I would be very interested to learn how to access my father's WW2 records - I have his number!
Thanks
