	The Ancestry records don't include Royal Marines. You need to know which division he was in - Chatham Plymouth or Portsmouth. Attestation papers may be at Kew, but if he served in WW2 as well, then his records might still be with the Marines

I have tried the Natonal Archives at kew. I have had it suggested, that I contact the Royal Marines Museum at Eastney but the web sights just seem to give info on the museum its self.
