WW11 information

I am trying to find out some information on a Bernard Scott I don't have much information on him as he was single and during the 1950's lived with my husbands family in Sheffield I understand he was born in Sheffield but no other information.
What I do know is that he served in the army and spent some time in Burma this is where I need information. I have his Star of India and would like to know whether he was awarded it for some specific deed, or was it handed out to all who served in India. Are there any records from WW11 that are available to the public.

Re: WW11 information

Marlene, can you clarify please. You say you have his india star. Do you mean Burma Star?

Sorry yes it is the Burma Star

Re: WW11 information

Marlene, anyone who served in Burma during Ww2 received the Burma Star.

Edit Sevice records are not publically available. If he was mentioned in Despatches that would be in the London Gazette,which is available freely on line.

Re: WW11 information

Thank you Dave I thought that was the case. I shall check out the London Gazette.
