British gas mask tag markings help
Article about: Today I've won a gas mask and bag on eBay, attached to the bottom of the house is a metal tag as pictured. Obviously it states his name, but I don't have an idea what the rest means? Protest

Where could I find his military service history? It's nice to add more information to a piece.
Im afraid that the MOD still holds all WW2 records and they are not publicly available.
This is due to the fact that the individual may still be alive.
You can request part information from the MOD, but there is a charge to do so, and the information you will get will be fairly limited.
The main (free) thing you can do is online searches, and maybe get lucky for example, if the person has been mentioned in dispatches, it will be recorded in the gazette and found online etc
Naval officers can also be found on ships crew lists.
Sorry I cant be of more assistance in this case, but if you ever need a look up of anyone else i will always try to help. send me a PM if you need.
