My great uncle's UK army number was 2617178. We think he was in the Grenadier Guards during World War 2. In a letter he wrote, he says he was in Number 2 company, Number 4 platoon. However, we don't know the battalion he was in. Is it possible to identify his battalion through his army number anywhere online?

Do a search for Grenadier Guards. I reckon there'll be a website or history group that will have details of the nominal roll. The other option is the Public Records Office at Kew in England
