Can anyone help with a little research on a Royal Artillery soldier who served in Burma

[Alan329]

I am trying to do some research on a relative.  I applied for his military record 12 months ago and just received them  They were very comprehensive, unfortunately they were for the wrong person.  My fault, I thought I had identified his service number, but I got it wrong.  I will apply again with the correct service number, but for some reason the site appears to be down and I just get a bad gateway error message.  Noor very kindly provided some great information on a trio of WW1 medals I posted a few years ago, and I wondered if anyone had access to the various ancestry sites that might have some information for me while I wait for the service records.  I know that his medal index card is on Fold3.com but I have no access to it.  Here is what I have so far:

I don’t think there is a way to access WW2 records other than the route you have used, I may be wrong 🍻
