Have you tried here:

I definitely look forward to seeing what you are able to find. Do you have any of his old documents, uniforms, medals, and etc?

My grandad spent most of his life in Pakistan,so i'm assuming most of the relevant documents will be there.i do believe he received a medal,and i will be travelling to pakistan in a few weeks so,hopefully i will find something that will help with my search!

I met the author of a research website the other week at a show near me. He specialises in the Indian theatre of operations of WW2 and also has a great deal of knowledge on research of individuals and the history of British Military. His name is Rob Palmer and was very happy to chat to me for quite a while about what he's been putting together over the last few decades. You can contact him through his website www.britishmilitaryhistory.co.uk

I do have his phone number, PM me if you would like it.

Loads of info on British regiments and may be of interest to others.

Good luck
