Trying to find war records for my grandfather who was born in West Yorkshire in 1882 and served in thr KOYLI regiment also war records for my father who was born in 1915 in West Yorkshire and served in the Koyli in India and Burma, Thanks

If the records for him in WW1 survive (only about 30% do) they are available on Ancestry. If you need a lookup then you will need to give some names

Did you read the info I gave you about WW2 records?

Yes, read about WW2. Went on line , but told it was temporarily unavailable.

I copied from your PM - it seems to have worked this time. Be aware my email address is a bit mad (you will get this when you see it!).
Jan

Many thanks Jan, hope this will enable me to get further,
