    Thanks for the responses . The family cannot confirm that he served . I am assuming he did because of his dob and the fact that he had one child in 1939 and the next in 1946 . There are several Sidney Reids serving in 1939 but no way of knowing if any of them are the one I am researching . I guess I will have to risk £30 to find out

    Its not a risk - its certainty - one way or the other

    If you have nothing on him, books he read, badges he kept, documents related to veteran assoc's he was a part of then his service records must be the way to go - if he was not in the military then your money will be refunded, so it will have only cost the price of a death cert, unless you already have one
