Alfred Willis Ox and Bucks --Royal Engineers

Good Evening,
I'm trying to find details of Alfred Willis Born 1916 in London.
From the 1921 Census He is living with his Father, mother and sister Joan at 58 Torquay St. Paddington.
Unfortunately that's it.
His son who is a good friend and who himself served in the RE and is the reason I'm looking for him believes he was in the Ox and Bucks then transferred to the RE.
He died in Wales in 1966
Thanks in advance for any help. I'm usually ok at this but seem to be hitting a brick wall in this instance

 

Get them to apply for his service records.
Link here explains everything you need to do to apply.
Get a copy of military records of service

 

You still need his records but if you search you can find his medal card (same address), his service number is given as 5346151 and 7th Bn Oxford & Bucks. Applied for 1939/45 star, Africa (8th) and Italy stars, Defence and War medals.

Search results: 5346151 | The National Archives

He was a civilian in 1939 register. Enlisted with Royal Berkshire Regt. but you will need his records to follow his transfers between units.

 

Many thanks.
The replies are much appreciated.

 

Both infantry regiments were multi-battalion.

For the background and references see: Royal Berkshire Regiment - Wikipedia

Ditto and see the North Africa / Italy section for the 7th OBLI: Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry - Wikipedia

When you are ready use an online search for each unit, e.g. "7th Oxford and Buckinghamshire" site:ww2talk.com Which id'd a handful of threads. So, you may have to use 7 and the abbreviation "OBLI".
