Hi, My GGrandfather served in WW11 but never came back, he was declared dead after 7 years. Can anyone help me, how do I find military records about this?

I only know his name, Joseph Willsher, I dont know whar regiment he served in or what year he went missing.

What country?

Hi,

Right, the story goes.

Joseph went off to war, never came back & was declared dead. His wife then remarried & had a daughter. A few years later they were on holiday in Belgium and saw a tailors shop and the name above the door was "Willsher" (he was a tailor by trade bfore the war) they never went in though to see if it was her missing husband. Now we dont know if that is where he went missing or if he made his way there.

That is all we know about him
