WW2 RCA Gunner

Karmen,

It's been my experience that while a Service Number helps, it's not required to get a copy of his records. As long as you can provide enough info that they can be sure they have the right guy, that should be enough. I've had past success with just

Name
Date of Birth
Place of Birth
Name of Parents
Branch of Service
Dates of Service (pretty rough guesses in some cases)

That, along with proof that he's been deceased for more than 20 years (obit or death certificate) should be enough.
