	Karen Unfortunately you cannot view WW2 army records, since 1920 all these records are held by the MOD. To obtain records you have to apply through the Veterans Agency, They can cost £30 dependent on how you are related, also it can take as long as six months to get them. They are not online or at the National Archives. Here is the link which shows how to obtain the records, http://www.veterans-uk.info/service_records/army.html
