Army records for the period between WW1 and WW2 will be released to the National Archives - don't know time frame, but possibly in the next year or so.

Regimental Diaries are no use if you don't know the regiment and battalion!

Do you know which countries your father served in? Might help identify
which regiment.
There is a volunteer, George, who posts details of how next of kin can obtain a copy of a service record.
