My great grandfather fought in some of the biggest battles of WWII. I am sort of a history buff so I think it would be very interesting to see things like where he was, what he did, if he received any commendations and more general information like that.

Then click Military records, go from there.You will need to get your parents to do this as the military will give this to next of kin and as a great grandson you cannot do this on your own Good Luck..Next of kin, * A military veteran, or
* Next of kin of a deceased, former member of the military
The next of kin can be any of the following: surviving spouse that has not remarried, father, mother, son, daughter, sister, or brother.

I'm sure there is. Contact the military branch he served in. I'm sure that they have a process to do this research. They may give you information you use online to research. There are many veteran organizations as well.

Most of the military record will only be released to next of kin, meaning its release is limited to his son or daughter directly, only. Not to grandchildren.
You may have to get your mom or dad involved in the process.

some web content under that could desire to desire to get you started out. you do no longer say even though in the experience that your large grandfather served with the British or Australian forces, the two way you're able to get further suggestions on Regimental web content. regrettably, multiple suggestions-blowing regiments and corps now no longer exist.

Well it would help if you stated with which Army he fought in WW2, as there were quite a few countries involved.
Once we know that we can direct you in the relavant direction.
