Post WW1 service records still with the MoD at Glasgow unfortunately. Have to be next of kin or show proof the person is dead to access them, then there is a charge of £30 and a long wait of about a year.

They will be released into the public domain eventually. Hoping I'm still alive and compos mentis when they do. Allegedly it could be as early as 2021, but I think it will be later.
