Just drawing on the community's collective knowledge again for a work colleague. He's trying to hunt down his father's history of serivce with the 42nd Commando during the war, includuing tracking his movements/deployments and engagements he would have taken part in.
I know where to get this type of information if he was with the Australian armed forces (our War Memorial has digitised every hand written service record from the World Wars including unit diaries down to the battalion level) but is there anything equivilent from the UK?
Is the databse searchable by names and other personal information?
Ta.
