Thanks! Great answer as always.

I'm only familiar with Oz where the basics of a every WW2 soldier's enlistment - date of enlistment, place and date of birth, date they were demobbed, next of kin etc - are available free online. Then you can pay and get the full record from Canberra. I thought it was different in the UK!

Split the difference. We have birth and death certs with much more information than yours on them but you have so much more info free on the internet when it comes to BDM and archives.

We'll have to meet in the middle which is always good. Maybe the Ashes can be a draw too!

Thanks again for covering my query so thoroughly.
