thanks all!

Do service records ever include a photo? My dads dad was in the RAF and its one way to get more info on him, as my dad knew so little about him

How can I find out what British regiment my father in law belonged to. I know he fought in North Africa and spent some time in Sri Lanka but due to family breakdowns we have no records , medals or any info.
His name was William Thomas Kemp B. Mar 15 1915 from Birmingham.
Cant find any military site that will give out names. Thanks
