To comply with UK Data Protection Law and to protect the identity of people still alive this website does not list anyone who is not known to have died or who is not believed to have been born under 100 years ago.

For those reasons personal data on individuals who participated in World War Two is very limited in this site.

The Ministry of Defence holds service records and personal information for soldiers whose service ended after January 1921 including all of those who took part on World War Two. Copies of these records are available to relatives or individuals who have a reason to access them. Click here for more details.
