Some good answers so far apart from Sally P who is one of our colonial cousins who think automatically that everyone is america. In addition to Records at Glasgow and the Veterans Organisation, you could also try regimental museums. The RA one is at Woolwich I believe and The airborne forces museum is in aldershot. |

Kentigern house in Glasgow won't have records that old.
You need to look on the National Archive at Kew's website

For the first answer, RA stands for Royal Artillery and Paras is the Parachute Regiment, both British Army, Incidentally 1939/1940 is before the US Joined the war |

Soldiers then and up to 1962 had all their record of service entered in their pay book. The MOD only kept records of his name rank and serial number as well as his Corps or Regiment. |
