You will, of course, have already read the "Grandad's War" section of the mother site, as strongly recommended at the top of this page.

If you could then post a more specific query about anything you're unsure of, I'm sure someone will be able to try and help.

Do you have access to his medals - his service number is inscribed on the edge. This might help you to identify his medal index card and his regiment and hence via the medal roll his battalion.
