My wife's father served in the East Surrey Regiment for the first three
years of WWII but was then invalided out. He saw active service in
Norway,
became separated from his group and was sheltered for some weeks by a
Norwegian family. He died in 1973 and that is all we know of that story.
Is there any way we can obtain more details of his service record and, if
so, how could we proceed, bearing in mind that we live in Belgium.

Many thanks. We will certainly pursue that line of enquiry.

It may also be possible to obtain duplicate copies of any medals he was
awarded.
